This is the fifth in a series of Geocaches that lead you to the
many Entrances to the Underworld.
Are you brave enough to Enter the Underworld
once more? If you have a
FAST internet connection click here to see a
YOU TUBE movie of what you will face trying to
enter the underworld.
This tunnel was dug sometime before 1933 and has had water
dripping from the roof for over 75 years. As a result there are a
few
STALACTITES to be seen.DO NOT
TOUCH THEM OR THEY WILL BREAK OFF.
The
Geocache contains a number of
candles a First to Find Card, and a
Guardian. The Guardian is called Pua`a Iki,
the Small Pig. You mayDISCOVER him,
BUT DO NOT TAKE HIM from the cache.
As in all tunnel caches you will need a flashlight to find your
way around in total darkness. You will also have wet feet and if
you don't keep your eyes up you will have a few bumps on the top of
your head.
There are trails and roads to take you very close to the tunnel
trail, BUT I did not clear this trail head. You will have to use
your HEAD and GPS to find the trail head. When you find it you will
find a cleared trail that just about reaches the tunnel.
Remember when you park at the forestry gate not to leave
anything of value in your car/truck. There is always the chance of
someone breaking into your car/truck.
This is also a Public Hunting area and so you should be
respectful to the hunters. Try not to make a lot of noise by
talking loud or shouting. You may run into their dogs. Don't show
fear and you should be in good shape. Most hunting dogs will not
bother you. As the hunters may be using firearms you should wear
bright colors.
Enjoy yourself
