AOTD for 5/10/13 Ooiki Falls

[188AHC 2,141]

This waterfall cache in the south of Kauai is a repeat of 4/2/13.  If you missed it, now's your chance.

 

Enjoy.

I did not have this one. Strange, I just can't see how I missed it. From my pictorial records, I see the 4th of February as Logan, not Ooiki.

 

Even worse, people are talking about 300 Aerocaches, but I only have 269 racked up. What happened? Sure, I still have 6 or 7 helo Aerocaches unclaimed, and a couple of repeats that are off the Map, but that is still far from 300 for me.

 

Must be a whole bunch of "Senior Moments:! :lol:   You laugh, but it will happen to you someday. Lance is far worse than me. :rolleyes:

 

Anyway, I was beached on a spit of land at the Ipuolono Reservoir, so I just climbed the Icon out onto the Halewili Road and used that as a runway.

 

 

 

 

I would have followed the Hanapepe River up to the Falls, except... there is no Hanapepe River.

 

 

 

 

It looks like a bug, it was not included in the scenery. I'll file this for an eventual bug report.

 

The Falls are there, though.

 

 

 

 

The Alexander Reservoir is missing also.

 

This is where the river begins, very close to the coast.

 

 

 

 

Of course, there is a bridge, so I landed on the river and coasted under it.

 

 

 

 

And then beached the Icon on the banks while I scooted up to the nearest bar for a cold beer. :lol:

 

 

 

 

Best regards.

What?!? What ever happen to respect your elders?

 

That's OK, my response is a simple 2-9-8!!! Read it and weep!

 

On the way up to the AotD I saw a bridge and thought of my "friend", Luis. On the way back I thought "I haven't flown under a bridge in a long time."

 

Once you sober up from your cold beverage, you'll find me scattered amongst the shrubs and bushes, because I still haven't flown completely flown under a bridge in a long time... :blink:

Luis, try April the 2nd.

[LuisFelizTirado 33]

Thanks. B)   For April 2nd, I've got Haleakala

Best regards.

I'm like Rick, I show that inside Flight I collected Ooiki Falls on April 2 - 4/2/13.  Perhaps in your sub-tropical paradise you use a different date format than we do up here. To us February 4 would be 2/4/13. Oh well, whatever.     :blink:

[LuisFelizTirado 33]

Tropical paradise, Alan, tropical. We are within the Tropic of Cancer. :lol: Florida is sub-tropical and Texas is just plain hot! B)

Generally, U.S. date format is Month-Day-Year, but the rest of us savages like to use a logical system, so we are ether (from small to large) Day-Month-Year or (large to small) Year-Month-Day.

 

Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_formats#Date_format

Either way, and I checked both, I still don't get Ooiki. Could this be one of those that was only up for a hour or two that a few of you got?

Best regards.

Yeah, it will get hot here but when it does my humidity may only be about 15% (ie: I dont live in Houston!).

 

I can't remember if Ooiki was only up for a short while or not but at least you have it in your collection now. I, too, have 269. I'm missing some because I wasn't camped outside MS's front door waiting for the Flight release and I didn't get Alaska right away due to concerns about the shutdown.

Luis, You are correct in that Ooiki falls did appear on April 2 and so did Haleakala Sunrise.  I think this was one of the glitch days. Anyhoo, I got them both on that day and since Shaktoolik finally appeared in the permanent cache list, I now have 304 or 305, (can't remember exactly) which constitutes all the caches to date except "Curvature" which no longer exists.
