| Monkey Mouse   |  Oregon girl's message in bottle reaches Hawaii Oregon girl's message in bottle reaches Hawaii CARLTON, Ore. -- In February of 2003 Emily Streight put a message in a bottle, sealed it with duct tape and dropped it into Panther Creek eight miles from her home in Carlton. She figued it got stuck in the brush along the creek. She was 12 at the time. But last week she got a letter from a 16-year-old Honolulu boy named Keoni, who found it on a Hawaiian beach following a luau. He wrote back and enclosed the original. She mentally traced the currents that carried the bottle. It went down Panther Creek, the North Yamhill River, the Yamhill River, the Willamette River and the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, then across to the Hawaiian Islands. Keoni sent a one-page typed note saying his ancestry was a mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, Portuguese and Chinese, that he likes to surf, kayak and skateboard, and that he plays wide receiver on the football team.

| Monkey Mouse | Re: Oregon girl's message in bottle reaches Hawaii I thought it was amazing too. All those waterways feeding into another and then finally the Pacific Ocean and the Hawaii. What a trip!

| Monkey Mouse | Re: Oregon girl's message in bottle reaches Hawaii I love duct tape, but even it doesn't explain that trips. It's surprising that it made it out of Panther Creek alone. The Yamhill's got some rapids on it.
