Mysterious Tunnels cut into Cliff Face and Hike through a very different Hawaiian Micro Climate.
Due to the HUGE popularity of this location with local hikers and their children, I have converted this to a TWO part cache. **Part 1 - Where to find the coordinates for the actual cache at Part 2. Clue 1: it is not possible to get a gps reading at the site. Clue 2: Coordinates are scratched on outside rock face. Clue 3: Read the name of this cache and be willing to walk bent over. Leave a dry change of clothes in the car. Stay on the trail. The trail head for this short hike is clearly marked and easily seen from the road (but which road?). Both MapBlast and TopoZone use old maps which are based on the Old Hawaiian Datum (even though they claim otherwise). To find the correct location with these online services, use the Old Hawaiian coordinates: N20.80798degrees W156.28925degrees. **Part 2 - The cache. Your GPS device will actually work here. The cache is under both a fallen tree and the wire fence which it crushed at the edge of a cliff. You can stay on relatively SAFE hiking trails for ALL parts of this cache search. If you start to get nervous, notice the small children wearing flip flops running past you along these trails. These clues should be sufficient (however I give extensive hints in the hints section).
