Geocache Description:

The Green Lady of Wahiawa


The story of the green lady is that of a woman who would visit the gulch of Wahiawa, which also contains the botanical gardens of Wahiawa, with her child. One day while visiting her child became lost and was never found. The story goes that she still wanders the gulch looking for her child and will take any child that she comes across into the gulch. There have been several reports of seeing a green woman covered in moss or mold wandering the gulch. Others say that the green woman closely resembles that of a Japanese mythological creature called the kappa. This creature is said to resemble a turtle-like humanoid that steals children to feast upon. The last known sighting was said to have happened in the mid to late 1980s. In modern times, children and teenagers dare each other to cross the bridge that runs over the gulch at night. Thanks Wiki. If you are brave enough you can do this cache at night. Parking hours for the Botanical Gardens are 9am til 4pm. Congrats to GeoGerms, 2Beets, and GizMomx5 for a team FTF. You know the line...Bring your own pen. The Green Lady of Wahiawa.
