Something is common to little city Honokaa, Hawaiian Island (USA) and little village Seget Gornji, (Croatia), distant thousands kilometers from eachother.
Something, or better say: someone.
His name was Shea Hunter Walling.
Shea was born in 1992 in Honokaa, and he died 2009 during a rock climbing accident in Waimea, Big Island, Hawaii.
In Seget Gornji, little village behind the mountains, there is a memorial plaque dedicated to Shea.
I was so surprised when I saw it for the first time, specially because there is no evident connection between Shea and croatian ghost village.
It tickled my curiosity so I came home and I searched info about young boy died young (he was only 17) mentioned on memorial plaque in the middle of nothing.
I found only a simple webpage created after His premature death but there was one information which connected all missing pieces.
It says simply: " Shea has also traveled to Croatia to meet and establish a wonderful relationship with his relatives there, which was such an important part of who he was."
I was very impressed about this story hidden behind a memorial cross found just for case during my hiking in that zone.
And that's the reason I have decided to place a cache right there - it's ghost village, abbandoned houses from recent Croatian War.
In one of the rooms there is still the bottle of oil, juice , tea and bread basket on the table, towels hanging on the bathroom's door.
Those houses are probably Serbian's and I am wondering why the owner left the house so quickly, even if I can guess the sad reason.
I don't know if that village is connected somehow with Shea, but as soon as I find out, I'll update this description.
