Geocache Description:

This a nice easy cache. Just a short climb over an a'a' berm and a few steps to the cache. From the right angle you can see the cache and you should not need to move anything to retrieve it. Be careful the footing is unstable and as with all a'a' treacherous.

This cache is placed (with permission) on the property of my neighbor (in California). It has been in his family since the early 60's. His parents bought it and would use it as a write off for their trips to the Big Island when they "visited or checked on" the property. It is now owned by him and his siblings. He has never seen the property and pays taxes on it every year.
Before my visit to Hawaii this time I looked up the property and figured out where it was. While I was on the Island I came out here and took pictures of it for him and called him while I stood on his property. I even brought him back a nice piece of ropey pahoehoe for him to have at home with pictures of it in situ with coordinates.

On the east side of the street just over the berm between the two close tall trees in picture. Not far from the street.
