Visited the newest cache in the state and the first Letterbox Hybrid cache on the island of Oahu. It is just outside the ruins of the former summer palace of King Kamehameha III and his Queen Kalama just off the Nu'uanu Pali Drive. The palace was completed in 1845 and was used for the entertaining of foreign celebrities, chiefs, and commoners. In 1847, an estimated ten thousand people gathered at the palace for a luau to celebrate the return of Hawaiian independence following five months of British occupation. The palace was abandoned after the king's death in 1854. The surrounding area is said to contain a burial mound from the Battle of Nu'uanu, which King Kamehameha I won to unite the Hawaiian Islands. It is a beautiful, historic and sacred place that is a must see if someone is visiting the island of Oahu.

I stopped by a newly placed cache on the Windward (NE) side of Oahu in front of the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Made a quick stop this morning to grab the newest cache in the state. It's located in a park that was on the site of the old Honolulu Stadium, lovingly called the "Termite Palace". I used to go to baseball games here to watch the Hawaii Islanders with my dad when I was growing up.

Third of three for the day. My wife and I had a few hours off. We wanted to get some exercise and go for a hike. I haven't been to Kahana Valley for a long time and that got me thinking about it. We settled for a 4 mile loop and hit three caches. We started at the check in station and went from from there to CRider's Teddy Bear Cache then to Puu OKila 1/2 Way Cache and finished with Kahana Valley 99 Cent Geocache then back to the check in station. It's was a beautiful hike and only required a little backtracking to grab the Puu OKila 1/2 Way Cache. The weather was great and the views were terrific.
