Geocache Description:

A quiet spot for swimming, fishing, or even just taking in the view.

This is the fourth cache of what I'm calling the 'Oscar'-series, dedicated to my first adventuring partner, my dad. Each cache in the series will be at various adventure spots that we shared over the years.

Just off of Reed's Bay, this spot is full of memories, as we often came here as a family. One memory that stands out is mom taking us to meet dad as he was taking his first-ever boat out for a spin. I don't remember the specs, but it was a small little thing with a huge outboard that just flew across Hilo Bay.

The cache itself is a fairly-large small. Painted and hidden under some readily available camo. (If it get's pilfered quickly, I'll find a better hide.)

Also, the starting swag is pretty pathetic, but it's all about the game right? I'll find some nice stuff soon!

**Still BYOP!
