Geocache Description:

Cache was placed to highlight the xeriscape garden and upcoming farmer's market. The listed coordinates will lead you to the entrance of the garden. Use the description below to locate the micro-cache. Log online, as log book keeps getting taken..

Steps to locating Ku and the cache:

Upon entering the garden from the entrance coordinates supplied, locate and examine LONO, a small tiki god who guards the entrance way of the gardens and has eyes for the location of Ku.

Always remember it is VERY BAD juju to attempt to lift a tiki god.

Using the ancient secrets learned from examining Lono complete the following coordinates to locate the Tiki god Ku and the micro-cache he conceals.

N 27° 31.---

W 097° 52.---

Again always remember it is VERY BAD juju to attempt to lift a tiki god, but since Ku does mean standing up, he might not mind "turning around" for you ;)

Lono– Ancient Tiki God of Fertility and Peace

In Hawaiian mythology, Lono is a fertility and music god who descended to Earth on a rainbow to marry Laka. In agricultural and planting traditions, Lono was identified with rain and food plants. He was one of the four gods who existed before the world was created. Lono was also the god of peace.

Ku – Ancient Tiki God of War

In Hawaiian mythology Ku is one of the four great gods along with the ancient tiki gods, Kanaloa, Kane, and Lono. The word ku in the Hawaiian language means "standing up." Ku is worshipped under many names, including Ku-ka-ili-moku, the "Seizer of Land" Rituals included human sacrifice, which was not part of the worship of the other gods. Ku, Kane, and Lono caused light to shine in upon the world. They are uncreated gods who have existed from eternity.

ENJOY THE GARDEN!!
