All I did was have breakfast and take some pictures. Trader Rick lured me up there with his tales of clandestine tiki restaurants and he did all the fieldwork to find out the history. This one definitely goes to the Trader. although... I checked my new copy of "Tiki Road Trip" last night and found that James has a write-up of Alphie's in the California chapter. Darn! Others knew of it first. However, at the book-signing I suggested James check out this thread and use the history Rick provided in the next upgrade of the book. Sabu
