Geocache Description:

Located on the Waimano Falls Trail. This is a difficult trail to hike and is not for those looking for an easy score.

We named this the "Home From Iraq" cache because "Pops" is on R&R and leaving again tomorrow. We decided to place our first cache and make it a good one. You can follow the instuctions in Stewart Ball's "Hikers Guide to Oahu" pg. 119 Waimano Pool.

You will have to work a little for this cache. The trail is steep and sometimes muddy. Go only if the weather looks good. This spot looks like a popular swimming hole but I never see anyone else there during the week.

The cache is in an old green mortar can located past the bottom pool.

Origional Contents;
12 Hawaii Keychains
1 Money Tiki
Military POG's
1 shell lei
Logbook and pen

On a final note, you must negotiate "Cardiac Hill"...downhill and back up. It is steep and lives up to its name.

Please rehide cache as it was found to keep out the weekend swimmers/mugglers.
