Love Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm tired of the rain in Seattle...so it's time for another Hawaii trip. I'll be headed to Oahu in late April and I've got an important mission for the trip...find my 1000th geocache. I found some pretty awesome geocaches the last time I was there (thank you to the local geocachers for a really fun day finding some of those caches). If there's an ultimate milestone style cache I should add to my list for this trip, please let me know. An adventure would be fun for this milestone (think GCHREH on Maui, for example). I also wouldn't mind company for this adventure. Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Aloha! Can you tell the Geohana isn't very good about keeping up with the forums. There are a ton of caches that would make a great milestone. None of these are quite the epic adventure of that Maui cache, but look at these: GCQH09 Cache of the Holy Grail that one pretty much begs for a quest! GC1FRYW A Nano in the Woods (expect the unexpected) both of those were hidden by Dadwrap his caches are always worth doing. If you want your adventure to be even wetter then consider: GC29FFF Davey Jones' Locker GC148PG Tail of the Lizard GC13WBE The Great Sandball Fight GCQTQ Pele's Lap Pool GC2MDQ7 Ahu o Laka it's an Earthcache, & it might be cool to have an event at the sand bar! (It does requires a boat). You could also consider CRider's "Underworld" caches which take you to little known bunkers and irrigation tunnels. I haven't done most of them, but I'm sure any the finders would be glad to help. There are at least a dozen great hikes to take you to the summit of the Koolau mountains giving you 360 degree views...depends how long a hike you want. Hope we get to see you while you are here. (We will be on the mainland for a bit and get back 4/27). jrr Quote Link to comment
+hatlat Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hey, did you ever pass on that coin we gave you for GeoGerms? We appreciated your help with that. Thanks Aloha!

Love Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 My event cache has been published! http://coord.info/GC48BVB Hopefully lots of you can attend! Now, to find the right amount of geocaching between now and then so I can make it my 1000th. Quote Link to comment
+PhoenyxRysyng Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Aloha! I'll be landing at Kailua-Kona on April 11th; staying for two weeks. I would love to check out some of the hikeable caches on the Island; however, I'm traveling with a non-hiker-non-cacher, and not too thrilled with the idea of hiking alone in unfamiliar territory. If any of the cachers (either resident or visiting) would be interested in doing some hiking with me during my stay, I would thoroughly enjoy the opportunity. Thanks! Sue Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Though it's bee a few months since I posted, I felt like an Update to the PQ Dates would be good! Hawaii All Caches PQs: 01/01/2000 to 07/19/2011 gives you 999 07/20/2011 to 12/31/2014 gives you 953 Hawaii has 1952 caches Published as of right now. Who's going to have the 2000th?

+eagsc7 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Hawaii is Now at 1984 Active caches! Woohoo! Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Wow...Over a YEAR since ANYONE has posted anything in the Hawaii Thread. I guess everyone has been out caching their islands! I felt like an Update to the PQ Dates would be good! Hawaii All Caches PQs: 01/01/2000 to 11/11/2011 gives you 999 11/11/2011 to 01/19/2014 gives you 999 01/20/2014 to 12/31/2015 gives you 302 Hawaii has 2300 caches Published as of right now. The 2000th Active cache was GC4NEER. What will the 3,000th Active cache be? The Steaks Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Yeah... Another YEAR goes by with me being the only finder of the page... 2312 Active Caches as of this last week. Still the same PQ Format I listed last year. Life is still going, and we WILL be back to get the rest of the islands done, and Heck, I SHOULD be able to do Heli Tours at some point... That'll be nice!! The Steaks Quote Link to comment
+BooDogMama Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) OK, We are heading to Hawaii... and I found this page! Now you won't be the only one! Edited January 24, 2016 by BooDogMama Quote Link to comment
YodaGotHisGun Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Aloha, former Kamaaina here with a request for an assist. I left a cache at N21°25.678 W157°53.402 on the Waiau Ridge Trail in 2009. It never got published, probably due to my frequent address changes at the time (military). Even if it's never been found, it's kind of important to me, so I'd like to at least reclaim it on my next trip to the islands (June, 2019). I'm curious if anyone might be able to check and see if it's still there, at least, or if it's been muggled. Pretty much start at the top of Kaahumanu Street, stay straight at any trail forks (heading towards the summit), maybe 2-3 miles in... Well past Good News. There's a beautiful overlook just before a stretch of open ridge, with a tree on the right side that has a long, funny shaped branch. Years ago, someone nailed a pink shirt to that tree, but the shirt is likely long gone at this point. The cache is a medium ammo can behind or beside that tree. No worries to go out of your way, but if you're headed up that way for a hike or another cache, I'd be much obliged if someone could at least check on it. Mahalo, Buck Quote Link to comment
+eagsc7 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yoda: Check in with GeoGerms, as he MAY be willing to do a check then assist you in getting it published... The Steaks Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 This thread has been dormant for more than a year! My husband and I are finally visiting Hawaii. It will be our 50th state. Pretty excited! We're going during our 22nd anniversary, mid December, for 2 weeks. We will be visiting The Big Island, and Oahu. Quote Link to comment
+STNolan Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'll reach out to some kamaaina as well, but I'm planning on spending a week in Molokai next month and was looking for some recommendations (not just on caches, but on hikes and beaches as well.) Quote Link to comment
+Abird! Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It's been years but since I browsed the forums but helloooo everyone hope everyone's 2019 is finishing off strong :) I'm taking a birthday trip to Vegas next month and am so excited to get some cool finds there Quote Link to comment

Mahalo, Buck Yoda, were you able to get your cache? I'm still stationed here for another 9 months. I might be able to head out that way and check it out. Quote Link to comment
