Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the parking lot of one of the LDS (mormon) church's lesser known landmarks, Pulehu Chapel in Kula. Built in 1850 or so it is the oldest LDS church building still standing in Hawaii, and one of the first permanent structures built by the church in Hawaii.

This historical landmark was shown to me by a friend. The cache is hidden in the parking lot, but if you would like, the chapel is open to the public during the day. It is a quiet and peaceful place. The original building was completed in 1851, and was restored a few years back.

Please be respectful while visiting the chapel and grounds, as it also houses the church's missionaries. Unless the gate is actually padlocked, you are welcome to lift the U shaped latch and enter the grounds.

This cache is for trading coins. Please only take a coin if you bring one to replace it. You can still sign the log even if you don't bring a coin to trade. Geocoins are also welcome. The container is a round altoids tin.

Original contents include a small pencil and logbook, a pencil sharpener...please leave it in the cache...and several coins, including a Maui trade dollar, a smashed Maui penny, a sacagewea dollar, a Susan B Anthony dollar, a few canadian coins, and some others.

If you feel the urge, go ahead and ring the bell in the chapel...it is the first thing the smaller Angry Eyebrows team members do when we visit.
