This is my temporary solution for display of the costumes I won during the LOST auction last year. I need to get my act together and come up with something a little nicer.
For sheer visual splendour the valley within Kualoa Ranch is hard to beat. The area has attracted many film and television productions including Jurassic Park, Godzilla, and LOST. In fact, the day of our tour there was a crew shooting in the valley, allegedly for a Shakira music video. Jurassic Park 4 had also been filming recently. In terms of LOST there are multiple locations scattered over the property: the Tempest station , Richard Alpert's pre-Island home , the area where Ana-Lucia killed Goodwin , Jughead's tower , the hill down which Hurley drove a Dharma van , the suspension bridge Hurley and Charlie crossed to reach Rousseau , the spot where the Man in Black smashed Jacob's wine bottle , and Hurley's golf course to name a few. In 2011 I toured Kualoa Ranch in a humvee with 3 of my LOSTie pals. Our driver and guide was a guy named Greg who was actually an extra on the show; one of his appearances was in the Santa Rosa scenes with Hurley. After arriving ba...
Our first North Shore stop was the Waialua Sugar Mill , a former sugar mill which closed about fifteen years ago and now houses several retail stores. It (with some aggressive colour timing) stood in for Mr. Eko's Nigerian village in the episodes The 23rd Psalm and The Cost of Living . The mill also appeared briefly in the Sawyer-centric ep The Long Con . The 23rd Psalm is one of the strongest season 2 entries, and the unique look of the soil and landscape around the mill helped sell the African backstory. This structure, no doubt part of the sugar production process at one time, now sells various locally-made soaps and other items. I picked up a few gifts here.
A residence on Hinano Street served as our second LOST location stop of the day. The exterior of this house appears in the season 4 episode "Confirmed Dead" at the beginning of a sequence in which Miles Straume visits a grieving woman in Inglewood, California who recently lost her grandson. Miles parks in front of his client's home. From "Confirmed Dead" Hinano street residence, 2014 Note that the lattice is no longer present in 2014. I'm not sure if it was added by the LOST production crew or if it was there but the homeowner removed it at some point after the shoot. Note lattice hiding the entranceway. ("Confirmed Dead") Looking out, probably taken at the same residence. ("Confirmed Dead")
