Aloha and E Komo Mai to another K_E Cache! Kapu’, pronounced ‘kah poo’, means ‘forbidden’ in the Hawaiian language.

 

The final does not want to be found easily and is protected by 5 stages.  These stages are all of the micro variety, the final being a 30 caliber ammo can.

 

You may be asking yourself, “Why Kapu?”  It’s simple, for some people, the cache may fit the meaning.  For others, you know who you are, this cache will provide a fun and really neat area to explore.

1-   Are you claustrophobic?

2-   Are you afraid of heights?

3-   Are you able to walk 4, or so, miles?

If you think you have some issues with these, please consider bringing someone else along to help.  Otherwise, you’re good to go, HAVE FUN!

 

 

As always, feedback greatly appreciated.
