B-Team find late in the afternoon. Just about on the verge of giving up when I had a parting thought as to where the cache might be - and guess what, that's where it was. Nifty container. TNLN Good Luck!
All is well here, even after the belly dancing, hula, Scottish country dancing and tae kwon do demo at the Moiliili Festival. Cache is still in place.
I have been remiss in not going for this cache before today. With all the Aloha you have shown us and all the history we have learned this trip, I should have come by sooner. I am sure you can forgive us though, we did finally arrive. 
Yesterday I was reading an article of Ferd Borsch, he was a sports writer who apparently covered all 2,013 home games at Termite Palace.
He passed away sunday. "He lived and chronicled the Hawaii Islanders for the better part of his 40 years with The Honolulu Advertiser"
This made me think back to all the things that we have noticed changed on the island just since we left in '94.
Change can be good and it can be bad, but never fear it.
You have brought us to a spot that allows us to think back into the past and try to imagine what this world might be like to our great-grandparents. One of the major reasons for this trip was to visit the kids great-grandmother and I have to say I am awed when I think the things this lady has seen in her life.
May all of you have as long and healthy a life. Aloha and Mahalo from the whole fam damily! This cache will likely be one of if not the last cache we locate before heading home.
TheQueenBee, Sillygirl & JRR, Captain.ron, Team GeoBlast, Menehune Man, Etoa and all the rest of you made this the most enjoyable and memorable trip to the islands we have ever known. Thank you for allowing my family to be a part of yours and for being part of mine.
See you on the trails. May your canteens be full and may the sun be always at your back.

We tried this cache in 2004 and just plain couldn't find it. We must have learned more caching skills or something because we found it this time! Excellent hide - thanks for the fun cache. It's great to clear up those old DNF's.
