Kauai Caching- Feb

[+GroundClutter]

I'll be heading to Kauai on Feb 8th and would love to get some caching in!

Could anyone suggest some good caches? Would any Kauai cachers like to have a meet and greet? I'll be staying at the Aloha Beach hotel. I'd love to meet some fellow cachers!

Hawaii? In February? I hate you.

 

Just kidding...always wanted to get to Hawaii, have a great time while you are there! You may want to look for some Travel Bugs needing a ride back to the mainland...

Which ones are good? The ones you find! You'll be in Hawaii so even the DNF's are welcome. I'd like to DNF over there now - rather than go through this next storm.

 

We were there for two weeks and I only hunted three and placed one [you now can't place vacation caches]. The hottest beach (burn your feet off hot) was at Polihale. We enjoyed Wedding Bells which is at the Grand Canyon of Hawaii. My favorite cache has been archived due to being muggled too many times (Beyond the Land Called Hanalei).

 

The beaches change by season so our favorite snorkling place (at Stars On The Water) may not be the place to go in February. However, the drive to it is not to be missed!

 

As pointed out, Hawaii is infested with bugs! I'm talking about Travel Bugs. Everyone takes them out there but no one brings them back. I think three quarters of the caches currently have travel bugs. Do your research before collecting them and bringing a bunch back though, because it's possible a travel bugs mission was to go to Hawaii and rot.

 

Look! A Hawiian Frog

Thanks for the replies folks. I'll have a look for TB's. I', trying to narrow down the Hawaii caches to those on Kauai. Can't seem to find a way to search for only those ones. Guess I just have to hit the "nearest caches" button.

 

So...are there any cachers who are actually on Kauai who would like to meet for a bevvy?

Enjoyed Kauai during our vacation this July/August and can highly recommend the "Sea Lodge Beach Cache". It's in the Princeville area and will help you find a "secret" and very little used beach after a short but steep hike from the bluffs above.

 

Have fun - We're jealous. /Lefty

Please go to one called: Keeping it a Secret (GCEBF9). I placed a TB out at this one while on my honeymoon in Oct and it has not moved. The TB is called Keychain Colony. I guess this cache site is to secret! It's a nice secluded beach to hang out at.

All cache pages have a link called, 'view map'. It's located where it tells you what state the cache is in. If clicking it doesn't help you, let me know.

 

Man! All this talk about Hawaii is making me want to go.

I suggest just doing them all. It's not that big an island. :-)

 

Seriously consider renting a jeep so you can venture into the center of the island for some cool caches on muddy roads.

 

Be prepared for lots of quick rain showers.

We were on Kauai in June '03 and will be going back this May. I already have a map of all the Kauai caches printed out, they are loaded into my GPS and I'm working on printing out the pages. It is my goal to hit as many as possible. We'll be staying on Poipu and there are several within walking distance of our hotel. I can't wait to go! I'll watch for TBs while we're there too. If anyone has some that need to go that way, see if you can get your bugs to Tucson and I'll take them out.

 

BTW...the zipcode on Kauai is 96756
