The island famous for its Pearl harbor, waikiki and Duke Kahanamoku, Diamond Head and the famed North Shore for its surfing history, still being written. Oahu houses around one million people of the island or "hui" and that is over 70% of the population of the hawaiian islands combined. She is 44 miles across from east to west and about 30 miles between her southern shores and the famed northern ones. Honolulu is the capitol of the island chain and has been for most of the time since Kamehameha 1 brought the islands together and stopped the bloodshed between warring island chiefs. While he kept his ancestral home in Kona on the big island and spent part of his monarchy in Lahaina on Maui, most of his time was spent here in Honolulu which had the most active port in the chain.

HistoryCake Driving Tour - Hwy 14-395 - Introduction and Overview
California Highway 395 roughly runs north south through the eastern side of California above the Cajon Pass. Highway 14 runs from the San Fernando Valley through Mojave to join it west of RidgeCrest. It has long been a path from Los Angeles to the Owens Valley and Lake Tahoe and Carson City and Reno. Before the gold seekers and those who grew crops and supplied the miners came in 1849, the land was mostly inhabited by native american tribes from the Mojaves to the Pauite Shoshone. Their combined history contains the past of the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas and the ebb and flow of product and people across a well trodden path to its sprawling and ravenous neighbor, Los Angeles, to the south.
