Waikiki Wildlife Letterbox Hybrid

This cache has been archived.

GeoGerms: Don't really want to let this one go, but since the penguins and other exotic birds are no longer there the cache kinda loses it's meaning [:(]. If the birds come back maybe the cache will too.

Stumbled upon this spot a few years ago and always wanted to place a cache here. Enjoy!

What is Letterboxing? - Here's the basic idea (taken from the LbNA website):
Someone hides a waterproof box somewhere (in a beautiful, interesting, or remote location) containing at least a logbook and a carved rubber stamp, and perhaps other goodies. The hider then usually writes directions to the box (called "clues" or "the map"), which can be straightforward, cryptic, or any degree in between. Often the clues involve map coordinates or compass bearings from landmarks, but they don't have to. Selecting a location and writing the clues is one aspect of the art.
Once the clues are written, hunters in possession of the clues attempt to find the box. In addition to the clue and any maps or tools needed to solve it, the hunter should carry at least a pencil, his personal rubber stamp, an ink pad, and his personal logbook. When the hunter successfully deciphers the clue and finds the box, he stamps the logbook in the box with his personal stamp, and stamps his personal logbook with the box's stamp. The box's logbook keeps a record of all its visitors, and the hunters keep a record of all the boxes they have found, in their personal logbooks.
Follow These Directions to the Cache:
  1. From the coordinates listed above (or if you don't have a GPSr, the end Kahanamoku Beach/Mamala Bay Parking Lot) head ENE toward the "Permanent Rainbow".
  2. Once you locate the "Queen" at the end of the "Permanent Rainbow" turn east (Diamond Head) and continue along the path.
  3. Stop at the fork and head NE between, "Atlantis" and the "Tropics".
  4. Continue heading NE till you see some "Crazy Fish".
  5. Follow the bench/wall from "Crazy Fish" to the other end (there used to be penguins here).
  6. The Box/Cache is at the edge under a rock.
  7. Now explore the area and check out all the Waikiki Wildlife!

This Letterbox/Cache is also listed on the LbNA website as LbNA # 62436 under Box Name Waikiki Wildlife.

Please remember that this letterbox contains a self inking stamp that is NOT a trade item and must remain in the box/cache.
