Guest Dave P Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 There is a small item of geocaching in Canoe&Kayak Magazine this month. It mentions a cacher who hides his caches where they are accessible only by boat. A very positive mention, unlike the one in Time. Quote Link to comment
Guest cleenjeep Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Sweet, I hid one accessible only by boat as well earlier this year. I was out in really rough conditions, paddled for three hours to get to a spot less than three miles off the shore of Lake Erie, Turtle Island. It is a great little island. Nothing to do but take a few pictures, and leave. I stayed for two days, hoping the weather would cooperate, but it did not. It stormed the whole time!! So I surfed back in, took only 45 minutes back. Get that.. surfed a 14' sea kayak! That was a trip I will never forget! Nobody has logged that geocache yet. I hope all is well...

Guest EraSeek Posted June 20, 2001 Share Posted June 20, 2001 Yeah. I saw the article too. Wow, that sounds great Cleanjeep. The kinda stuff I like. Just enough to scare me a bit. Here's one I placed with a folding kayak. No finders yet. This is one of three I've hid with a kayak or canoe. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=2610 Quote Link to comment
Guest Lux Lucid Posted June 26, 2001 Share Posted June 26, 2001 On the Willamette River, north of Portland, Oregon, the "Racoon Haven" cache is on an Island. We found it via kayak (1978 all-wood-frame Folbot kayak*). Pictures and info here: http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.asp?ID=1983 We also created "Government Duck" cache on Government Island, a 5-mile long island in the Columbia River. It's also only accessible by boat. Picts and info: http://geocaching.exocet.ca/created-003.shtml What I find interesting is the water-bound caches get a LOT fewer visits than nearby land-based caches. Our Government Duck has had only one visit logged in the last 3.5 months. Caches just to the north and south, on the mainland, have been getting about 5 visits per month. -Lux Lucid (Team Exocet) * Picture of me, age 3, in the Folbot's wood ribs: http://tiltshift.com/misc/Folboat-1978-Chad-Ribs.JPG [This message has been edited by Lux Lucid (edited 26 June 2001).] Quote Link to comment
