Geocache Description:

Some agility required and search may take you across sharp coral and loose rocks.

Ka Mo'o Nui's eye will be upon you as you begin this quest.
But not even he will see you as you gain success.
Away from all eyes you must flee.
If your goal is to catch me.
Take care of the ocean's waves and tides,
Or they will catch you ere you seek my hide.
Take care of the waves if they're big this day,
So you can cache another day.

Ka Mo'o Nui's cache has heard the footsteps of those seeking him. Some from far away places and others from this 'aina. He is a friendly cache and desires to greet visitors, but like all cahces he must guard his location with some secrecy. Never the less he sends out another riddle to aid those who would discover his lair.

Cache is just big enough for a log and a couple of small trading items, or a travel bug and a small hitchhiker. Please, bring a pen/pencil to sign the log.

01Aug2006 Passed by today to visit Ka Mo'o Nui as he has evaded so many people. He's still there but has changed his apartment. Originally you had to reach in through the skylight, but the rascal has added some front doors! (see photos) There he was the cheeky bugger exposed for all the world to see (well not all the world) so I closed the front door. Should you visit his lair and reach through his doors, please, close them before you leave. You wouldn't want him to catch a cold would you?
