Maui's Most Famous Mailbox

This mailbox sits on Omapio Rd on the way to Kula.  I've never seen one quite like this.  It sure does gather attention.  I recall a Maui News story describing how this box was vandalized and destroyed at least once in the past, only to rise from the ashes like some kind of first-class phoenix.

Aware of Maui's mail theft problem, I reinforced my metal locking mailbox with an aftermarket padlock after someone stole my mail by breaking the stock lock.

 I certainly appreciate the time and energy it took to create this functional piece of art.  Next time you're up by Surfing Goat Dairy, just venture up the mountain a little way on the same road and pay this guy a visit.
