Geocache Description:


Easy as pie to get to and find this cache. I chose this spot to hide a cache to bring people to this preserved historical site, though the cache is just outside the site. The park itself is a great picnic spot. The bathrooms are usually clean. During whale season, it is a whale of a spot!
This is part of a series of caches I've hidden along the coast that are family oriented, easy to get to in slippahs (flip flops) and filled with little things for kids and adults.

The following is a statement from the http://www.hawaiimuseums.org/mc/ishawaii_lapakahi.htm  :

Lapakahi State Historical Park is the archaeological site of the remains of a traditional Hawaiian fishing community. A self-guided tour takes vistors to house sites and a canoe halau (long house); runs through a game area where visitors can try spear throwing, ‘ulu maika (disc rolling) and konane (checkers); and leads to a fishing shrine and salt pans along the rocky shoreline.

End statement.

Please enjoy your stop here.
