Approaching Kailua on the highest part of Pali Highway from Honolulu they appear huge and close up on the right, just before you dive down through the tunnels. It… Read More The Pali Notches formed naturally.

    Very interesting story. Brings back some great memories.
    I had 3 sisters who loved Errol Flynn, and the day I turned 13..all four of us were teenagers for a short time.
    Once they pencilled a “Errol Flynn mustache” onto my young boy face, and dragged me to the cinema to watch ..maybe Robin Hood or another hero type…and their pretty girlfriends made a fuss of me ?? (bad luck we never had cameras in those days.)
    I did watch many Errol Flynn movies and he was a sort of hero to me ..until Lawrence Harvey came on to the scene..I mean screen.
