The Tiki Bog is a lot my father in law gave me a few years ago its on the WA coast. This is the birth place of tiki carving for me. http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/sea/coast/erosion/washaway.html I'm hoping someday it might be beachfront? tikifreak - Thanks man. I'm looking fwd to some R&R at the tiki bog this summer.

They all look great sitting around the fire there. Nice work. Now, let's see that Lono! Had to look these buggers up... Never heard of them. I imagine they are quite yummy though... I found some good recipes for them online already. :wink: I'll have to get up to the Northwest sometime for a taste.

You know it if you are out this way you have to stay at the tiki bog. conga - thanks much I'm trying to catch up with all of your feller's. It was fun setting them up and enjoying them. Lake - thanks I have many razors frozen up for just such a occasion. And the surf is just up the road. Benz - Thanks Benz, A TC chop at the tiki bog would be the coolest thing ever for me. I wouldn't have to travel that far.
