Geocache Description:

A standard hide at the top of the trail to Shipman Beach.

In a well-known myth of old Hawaii, 'Ohi'a was a handsome young man, approached by the volcano goddess Pele.  When her advances were rejected, she transformed 'Ohi'a into a tree out of jealosy.  Feeling pity for the maiden Lehua, his young lover, Pele turned her into the red blossoms that adorn the 'ohi'a tree. 

It is said that seperating the two lovers is not encouraged and picking the lehua flower will cause the tears of the two lovers to fall in the form of rain.
