THE LISTED COORDINATES ARE BOGUS. The listed
coordinates are the general area for stage 1. To find stage 1, you
must learn a little Hawaiian trivia.
We're bringing a little of the Aloha spirit right
here to Victoria! This end of the cache is stocked with
terrific items sent by sillygirl&jrr, the owners of the
Hawaiian half of this cache. I have sent Canadian items over
to stock the Hawaiian end. When you make a trade on this end,
please try to exchange Canadian theme items so that we can
restock the Hawaiian end of the cache.
This is a two-stage Canadian geocache working in tandem with a
two-stage Hawaiian geocache. To find Stage 1, you must learn a few
things about our new friends. To find Stage 2, you must partner
with them online.
So how much do you know about our Hawaiian friends and their great
state? Well lets find out. You will need to answer these questions
to find the coordinates to the first stage cache.

Now, take your answers and plug them in to find the coordinates
for Stage 1.
N 48° (QE) 9 . 3
(QA) 7
W 123° (QB) 6 . 3 (QC)
(QD-2)
The Stage 1 cache is a redirector containing only one piece of
information- the longitude and latitude of Stage 2. Just one
problem: While the longitude is for the Canada second stage, the
latitude is for the second stage in Hawaii.
All right, now it's time to team up with your fellow geocachers in
Hawaii. You're going to have to trade latitudes to find Stage 2.
Here's how you do it:
1. Take a look below for notes anyone in Hawaii may have posted to
this website requesting a partner to exchange latitudes with. If
you find someone, click on their user name to get to their profile
page, then email them via geocaching.com and arrange the trade
between yourselves.
2. If you fail to find any such notes, you can post one yourself on
our counterpart
cache page in Hawaii. Hopefully, someone in Hawaii who needs a
Canadian partner will read your note and contact you via
geocaching.com. You may have to wait a bit for this, of course.
3. If you've waited more than three weeks without finding a
partner, please contact the Hawaiian cache owner, and they will
give you the second-stage latitude. (Of course, we could give you
the number ourselves, but that wouldn't be in keeping with the
international spirit of this geocache!)
Please do not post premature "found it!" notes. If you post a
"found it!" note before completing Stage 2, your note will be
deleted (after fair warning, of course).
Also, please remove any partner-seeking notes you post on the
Hawaiian cache page after you've found a partner. Otherwise, you'll
keep getting contacted, and folks there will be frustrated by the
clutter of old notes. Whenever we find outdated notes on these two
cache pages, we will remove them.
Finally, please don't post any coordinates on either of these cache
pages. Posts that include coordinates will be deleted as soon as
they are discovered.
