Mini Seashell Geocoin

First 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.

Another day another cache 😛 Stopped by this new cache on the way home from work. Nice day for a drive and a better day to cache.

The newest cache in the State of Hawaii. It's a mystery cache just above Kailua, my home turf. It was in the mountains overlooking the windward (NE) side of the Island of Oahu. Great day for a hike, warm with a breeze so you don't get too hot.

This was the third one of the day and my wife and son were not excited about crawling up the hill and poking around in a cave. So they took a beak and enjoyed the view. It was a fairly challenging hike up and I had to scramble over some rocks but nothing difficult. Eventually I came to the cave entrance. I had my flashlight ready but I still had to wait a few minutes for my eyes to adjust to the dark after the very bright sun outside. I made my way all the way to the very back of the cave and was rewarded with the find. As I headed out I was thinking about the low spot in the roof and still bonked my head when I got to it because I was looking at my feet to keep my footing among the loose rocks. I had a hat on so I didn't draw any blood. The views from the trail and cache area were great.

This was a mystery cache were you had to find the latitude and longitude in two other cachers. I got both sets of coordinates from the other caches but hadn't got the chance to get out here since I got the second set. I put them in my GPSr some time ago. I was looking at what I thought was GZ but not having much luck. I was now wondering if I remembered to put the second set of coordinates in or just thought I did 😮 I phoned a fried to verify I had the coordinates right and was looking in the right area. After a little more searching I found it.
