Geocache Description:

 

Just in the northern coast of the luscious island of Hawaii lies a rural yet scenic paradise of Honoka'a. Honoka'a is considered as one of the biggest Hamakua towns located behind the deep blue ocean. One hundred years ago, you wouldn't recognize this historic and exotic town because it's mostly comprised of sugar plantations. In fact, sugar industry is the main source of income in this town. Incidentally, The Hamakua Sugar Company operated from 1873 to 1994. It just proves that sugar plays a big role for this simple and yet exciting town.
 
Honoka'a's economy was based mainly on sugar production (The Hamakua Sugar Company) from 1873 to 1994. Since Hawaiian sugar grew out of demand the economy has been in a bit of decline. However, Honoka'a is still very much striving.
 
The main attractions in Honoka'a are the rich Waipio Valley and the cultural Honoka'a People's Theater. The said theater is where the yearly Hamakua Music Festival is held; top class musicians perform during this event. On the other hand, Waipio Valley, "THE TROPICAL GRAND CANYON", is a place to do fun summer activities like biking, hiking, kayaking, fishing, ocean swimming and better yet, GEOCACHING!!!
 
This cache is a medium to large container, there is even a pull off parking area near the GZ. 
 
But please utilize caution and Stealth Techniques when in the area of bypassing Muggles in their vehicles.
*Also, please take a selfie or picture near GZ (Optional) to show some Love for The Town Of Honoka'a!!!
 
**CONGRATS To Wholagal On FTF!!!**
