This is the second in what will hopefully be a series of caches
in the Waikiki area, for visitors and locals alike. Parking is
basically non-existent in the area, though you could probably get
away with parking at the nearby post office, about a quarter mile
walk away.
The cache is near a stop on the Waikiki Historic Trail. The
area was once part of a 10,000-tree coconut grove known as Helumoa
and planted by Hawaiian chief Kakuhihewa in the 16th century. The
site is also near where Kamehameha the Great camped with his
warriors as they began their conquest of O'ahu in 1795.
If you're a visitor to the islands, or a local who doesn't make
it into Waikiki very often, when you come across the surfboard
markers that designate a Trail location, be sure to read them.
Waikiki has a rich and full history that's very interesting if you
take the time to learn it.
After you're done boning up on your Waikiki history, you can
start your hunt for the cache. It's not exactly your everyday
micro-cache, so keep an open mind when looking for this one. It
should be a very easy find, as it's pretty much out in the open. As
is usually the case in Waikiki, muggles will abound.
You'll need to bring your own pen, but a plain old ball point
might not cut it; you'll want to bring a Sharpie or other felt-tip
pen. If you don't have a Sharpie available, one has been provided
for you, hidden in the nearby phone booths, below the bottom front
edge. Feel under there with your fingers, you'll find it. (The
cache itself is not in the phone booths.)
Good Luck!
