On Sept. 12, 1835 William Hooper cleared 12 acres, near this site,
and planted the first sugar cane ever in the Hawaiian Islands. This
mill started with the large stone, Chinese-style, sugar grinders in
the mill. Plantation cut-cane was hauled to this mill by ox-cart up
until 1882, when sugar cane mill train tracks were built.
This cache is next to the Old Koloa Sugar Mill – and is named in
honor of the beloved Roosters that wake us up every morning… and
continue their crowing throughout the day – every day!
Original cache contents include Hawaiian tourist trinkets and a
few other items and is the launching point for Freedom Frog Travel
bug who wants to visit ever state in the Americas.
Aloha, and happy caching!
This site has a bit of trash around it. Request:
If every Geocacher took out just one piece of trash as they exit -
the area would be cleaned up in a few weeks! Mahalo!
