Since we are not sure how far Sukha can walk, we park our car by the big taotaomona tree and head for Santa Claus Lane. Lo and Behold, the faded red ribbon is indeed the entrance to the trail, so Cutie was right to want to try that trail last week. When we enter the boonie there doesn't seem to be much evidence of a trail, but soon we spot the first red ribbon in the boonies. After following more ribbons we finally come upon the large cave.
It is pretty wet and slippery going down the cave, so we have to be quite careful. We decide not to go all the way down, since CC forgets to bring gloves, the way down is more challenging. Also, a strong rope would be advisable.
Instead of doubling back out, we decide to take the other trail that will come out of the dump road. Surprisingly, we come upon another large cave which is deeper and narrower. CC stays upside with Sukha as we don't want him to slip on the moss covered rocks and fall down the crevice, Rex disappears into the cave and reports that it is interesting.
Our search is a success, we head out to the dump road. CC inaugurates the pink polka dot ribbon to mark part of the trail out.

It is a short but fun hike...
