Mad-Mac Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 Are there any rules against putting a cache on a small, uninhabited island on a lake? I think it would be cool cuz you need a boat (or canoe) to get it, and then when you find the cache you could go fishing afterwards. Quote Link to comment
+IV_Warrior Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 It's been done. Lakes, rivers, etc. Go for it. Just remember, depending on where you are, "boat only" sometimes becomes "drive up" Just ask the guys where it's been 6 degrees for months EDIT: One more thing, don't forget if it's in a river or other flood prone area, use a sturdy waterproof container,(ammo box) and secure it in place so it doesn't float away in the event of a flood. Just because you're paranoid DOESN'T mean they're not ALL out to get you. Quote Link to comment
+flask Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 you can buy cheap cable and use a carabiner to tie the box down so it doesn't float away. it doesn't matter if you get to camp at one or at six. dinner is still at six. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 at Dillon Lake was recommended to me to seek on our last trip to Breckendidge, but I didn't want to give up enough slope time to look under 4 feet of snow. Maybe if I ever get out there in summer These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes; Nothing remains quite the same. Through all of the islands and all of the highlands, If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Quote Link to comment
shrekTBA Posted March 16, 2003 Share Posted March 16, 2003 I was considering that here too, but access is limited during almost 1/2 the summer due to it being a nesting ground for geese and other waterfowl. A twist on this idea is on the same lake, there are trees that are submerged except for about 10 ft of the tops of them, with some camo techniques, it could be interesteing to get to by boat, is a challenge just getting back there in a boat. It's not a sport unless there is something dead in the back of the truck when you get home. Quote Link to comment

+Lazyboy & Mitey Mite Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 There are several caches on islands in southern oregon. Some you can wade to, others take a boat. It's fun. I hear voices.....and they don't like you! Quote Link to comment
+Jiheffe Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Pick has placed a cache on "Robinson Island" in Brussels, Belgium, last winter. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=49690 He placed it this winter, when the pound was frozen, but the ice melted a few day after, and it still is untouched This really frustrates me, coz it appears on top of my "Nearby Caches" each time... The island is located in a very crowded park, so it will be difficult to get to it without being spotted by the local police I'll have to find out... our wait till next winter Jiheffe Don't Dream It... Be It! Quote Link to comment

If you need special equipment to reach it, like a boat, it is a terrain 5. Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon. Quote Link to comment
+Bill D (wwh) Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 This one's on a tiny island in southern England. It's only had two found logs since it was placed last June. Bill Quote Link to comment

Bill Why would anyone want to go out and find something that isn't there. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote Link to comment
+Shoebox Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Went to one near Pittsburgh a month or so ago. It was "No Glaciers Here, Just Water" GCA836. It should require a boat but at the time there was 22" of ice on the lake so we just walked to it. Hardly a 5 in the winter. Quote Link to comment
