In Melvin Village, right on 109. We would make an annual trip from either Kona (until 1986 when my grandparents sold their place) or Centre Harbor from 1986 until it closed (maybe 1988?) to the Weary Traveler. On the ride there, during daylight, my Dad would always tell the story about my uncle hitting a rock and sinking an old family boat @ Pistol Island, when we would swoop through the channel on the counterintuitive side of the marker there. On the way home, my Dad somehow snaked through there in the dark in a 25' boat with a pretty deep draft.
I wonder what restaurants our kids will remember which will be no more in 20-30 years. Whatever happens to be @ the site where Chequers Harbor (now Canoe) is...will no doubt be gone every 10 years. I can't believe that the King's Grant has been around as long as it has, either.
