Hey,

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've just discovered a brand-new tiki site on Oak Ridge in Santa Ana. This elderly gentleman's backyard is simply amazing! Climbing over the wall one morning, I was able to surreptitiously snap these fine photos - the first to be seen anywhere!


There are two tikis in this patio area. Upon close examination, I was able to discern that they were carved using nothing more than a pair of toenail clippers and an emery board. The owner of these beauties is strictly old-school and probably tiki royalty.


By balancing on an inflatable pool-toy, I was able to snap this remarkable photo.


This undersea tableau is in pristinely-preserved condition, even though the house does not appear to have been re-painted since the 1960s!


Peering in through the sliding glass doors, I was able to percieve many more tikis peering from every corner. I tell you - this place has got to be my greatest discovery in years!

Unfortunately, at this point, the owner emerged from the garage with a shotgun and I was forced to hightail it back over the wall! I picked up some buckshot in my backside but it was definitely worth the experience. In fact, I'm planning another trip back there next weekend on the 19th. Anyone interested in going with me?
