Geocache Description:


I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan, have been ever since I was a little girl.  When I was thinking of putting a series of 50 caches together, it came to mind to use Elvis Presley song titles for the cache names.  As you're searching for each cache, try to sing the song it's named for, I bet you'll know most of them:-)

I had planned on placing all 50 of them around Lohi Lake but ran out of room so had to continue on another road after placing as many as I could around that lake. Please be careful and pull off to the side of the road as far as possible and be cautious when getting out of your vehicle. All caches will be just a few meters from the road and you will be looking for camoed containers...vial shaped and square or round Lock n' Lock. You will also notice that in one area I didn't hide any caches for over a km, due to many cottages near the road.  I hope you enjoy this series as much as I enjoyed putting it together!!! (Thanks to Flashattimmies for helping me place all the caches!)

Please be advised that if you're using your smart phone as your gps, there will be some areas where there is no reception. If you're using a GPS itself, then you'll be fine.

#11...."Hawaiian Wedding Song" is a 1926 love song written by Charles E. King for his operetta, Prince of Hawaii. It was originally entitled "Ke Kali Nei Au" - Hawaiian for "Waiting Here for You". In 1958, Al Hoffman and Dick Manning translated the original Hawaiian words into English, christening the song as the "Hawaiian Wedding Song".

The biggest hit version of the song in the United States, recorded by Andy Williams and released as a single in 1959, went to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #27 on the R&B chart. On the UK Singles Chart, the biggest hit version was Julie Rogers' 1965 single, which went to #31. Elvis Presley sang another version of the song in the 1961 film Blue Hawaii.
