Geocache Description:

Naturalized in dry disturbed areas of the Main Hawaiian Islands.  Dull green or grayish with or without pale spines & barrel-shaped fruit.  Fruit & young 'leaves' edible after spines are removed.  A domesticated species originating from Mexico & cultivated around the world.

Aloha! Welcome Mauna Kea State Park, a beautiful oasis located at about the half way point of the cross island Saddle Road. This beautiful park has amazing views of the "White Mountain" and is a favorite rest stop of locals and tourist alike. It's a great place to picnic after caching a few geocaches in the area.

The regular size cache is located on the left hand side of the park up a unpaved road. if you do not have a 4- wheel drive vehicle I would suggest that you park in the parking area by the telephoe, and walk the 0.20 miles to the cache.

You will be looking for a large cactus bush on the left side of the road. At the time of placement someone had cut a happy face on one of the leaves.
Please be aware of the sharp and dangerous needles on the plant. I had poked myself in the head placing the cache. Remember this is a very tranquil and powerful place so, respect the 'aina and malama the area. Please replace the cache as found, and watch out for the thorns!
Mahalo to Hiloshell and Del...FTF!
