Hooiberg is the local Papiamento word for Haystack. This lone peak
sits about 400 feet above all the surrounding area, giving a great
view of most of the Island. You can see the ocean to the north,
east and west.
Irresponsible individuals, who have littered, have abused this
mountaintop. I have placed trash bags in the cache for any
environmentally conscious person to use to pick up some of this
trash. There is a barrel at the base of the mountain. If the barrel
is full please take the trash to a container where it won’t be
blown around, as there is always a breeze on the island. Every
little bit helps.
This cache has two themes:
1st CITO (Cache In Trash Out)
2nd Key chains (the cache is in a green 2-liter container with a
sealed top. Please trade key chains)
It contains a logbook and pencil.
25 trash bags
10 Aruba key chains for trading
Please sign the log book.
Trade items, keychains prefered but any small item is ok. Use one
of the trash bags to take a few pieces of trash down the mountain
with you.
The cache container should be put back exactly as found to avoid
non-Geocacher’s from finding it and misplacing it.
Warning!!! Do not leave valuables in your car. It will be out
of sight for a few minutes and the thieves know it,
Small note on cache maintenance: I live in VT USA
and plan to visit Aruba in Nov and April each year. But have
arranged for an Aruba local to maintain the cache in my absence if
required.
