Not Quite My Last Day At Kualoa Ranch

These are pictures I took a while back when I was shooting on Kualoa Ranch.
We thought this was going to be our last day here. But as the rain became plentiful and the daylight became scarce, we knew we would return once again.Something to keep in mind when shooting on Kualoa Ranch:

We are only renting space here.

The real owners of the ranch

are the cows.

So watch your step. Even at lunch.

    Its not going to be as sad as when Friends ended is it...that made me cry - even though I am a manly man.

    Love Lost it's an amazing show, sad to see it ending but it needs to end before it becomes like Holloween 209 or something. Love your character on Lost, I bet you act a bit like that in real life, minus the slightly paranoid crazy talking to dead people part of it all. Your blog rocks, and you're part on Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious but short. I knew I knew you from somewhere when I finally got into Lost.

    Three years ago I was in Hawai'i for my honeymoon and we spent a day at Kualoa Ranch. On their "Movie Tour" everyone on the bus went nuts at the stop for Hurley's Golf Course.
    We stayed at Turtle Bay, and the hotel staff loved to point out all the locations used for the show too. =)

    Aloha and Mahalo Jorge! The Ranch is a special place for many. I too enjoyed my time there on 503.
    So glad you enjoyed your time on Oahu. Do we still send fan mail to GSP or will you post new address for us?
    Aloha!

    Is it weird that I am so sad ? It's like I'm losing my friends......

    As long as Hurley is happy in the end, I think I'll survive though. Of course I want YOU to be happy too - lol ! I know that they'll be great things in your future, you're just too adorable for there not to be.

    gena in nj, who's 19 year old son ( a two year + heart transplant recipient ) looks so much like you that sometimes I want to tell you "cuidado, mijo ! " when you're on the island !!!!!

    LOL
    When I was filming "Aztec Rex" up in the same areas we had to deal with not only cow pies in unexpected places, but a few times the cows wandered into our areas while shooting and once they actually stampeded a few yards away.
    Fun times!

    Ew, cow paddies. I was raised in West(By God)Virginia during my childhood, and one of my uncles had a cow farm. One day, the heifers got loose and evidently went into labor at the same time, and we were all over the place looking for them. Long story short...I fell ass-first into a gigantomungus paddy of poo. It was like a gooey bean bag. My cousins laughed about that for years.

    Just...there's not enough ew in the world...

  23. UnknownMay 2, 2010 at 12:42 PM

    Well Jorge, I'm sad for you. LOST is an amazing creation and I am glad you got to be a part of it. The character of Hurley has become beloved and will be missed.
    I watched you on Becker back in the day and immediately liked you. You're one of those people I just can't help but root for, even though you're rich and i don't have a dime to my name, Lol
    I really wish you continued and un-ending success!
    By the way, they better not kill you off! I'll be PISSED!
    My money's on you being the hero!

    And when a cow owns something . . .

    lovely photos, thanks for sharing.

    The end of a run is always difficult. Best wishes.

    Those hillsides have become iconic. The cow poop, not so much.
    :)

    Just down the road from the Ranch toward Kalaluu, is a lil' tourist trap called Tropical Farms. There they paint coconuts you can actually mail to your loved ones back home. (even more captivating than the coconuts, was the tribal-tattooed man that paints them, *sigh*) I regret not acquiring one. (the coconut, that is.)

    Will you miss the island life?

    I missed seeing it when I was there.

    Am I doing this right?! I never used this before so I hope you get to read this comment. I'm a big fan and so sad to find this blog on your last day filming. I live in Kailua on the Marine Corps base and while my husband is gone I've been watching Lost religiously every day on Hulu. Just wanted to send my best wishes to you, the rest of the cast, and crew. Come back and visit so I can run into you sometime! :)

    One of our fav episodes was when you were driving the dharma van, my 12 year old son even made a pinewood derby version of the car. It was fun to spot the Lost fans, others were like 'oh..a vw bus'. Thanks for giving us Hurley! Here are a some photos (check out the Mr. Clucks sticker)

    Hey Jorge,

    I started reading your blog some time ago - got the impression that you were a likable fellow in a beautiful place. Nice relaxing space..

    Then I found Lost on DVD, and started watching it from start to finish. Oh hey - it's Hurley's blog - how very cool.

    Last night I watched the episode named "Dave".

    All I can say is "DUDE!"

    Dear Jorge,
    I just finished watching "The Candidate". When Hurley found out Sun and Jin didn't make it, it broke my heart. Please not to cry on TV ever again.

    Thank you for your consideration.
