I saw this on the river across from Parker AZ a couple of years back. Technically, it's in California, but only by a hundred yards |

Thanks for the info. When you say real tiki (at the Kon Tiki in Tucson) - you mean it's all completely hand-made - unique? Best, |

One of TC's carvers, Buzzard, moved to Whetstone, AZ and kinda dropped off the grid. He hasn't posted in about 18 months |

Big Daddy, Kon Tiki is a 'traditional' Tiki Bar built in '63 and is largely original (BBBen did a fantastic 'touch-up' a few years ago) and WELL worth a look-see. You won't be disappointed! |

A significant drawback to "classic" tiki decor in Arizona is the single digit humidity that we have for a significant part of the year. In a private home w/climate control this isn't such a big factor but in a public setting like the Kon-Tiki where the doors are frequently opening and closing it can really take it's toll on rattan. |

Yes Zond, but the tikis live forever here in the desert - no rot! |
