Jomarac5 Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I'm currently entertaining the possiblity of hosting a cache event with a couple other local cachers. It will be an overnight kayak trip and we'll be picking up 5 or 6 caches along the way. I'm looking for ideas of activities and concepts that make for a good event. Thanks. ***** Link to comment
Northern-Lights Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 We've been to a couple of the Michigan ones..... Friendly atmosphere...... a few caches thrown in....maybe door prize drawings...a pot luck, all make for an enjoyable time. Good luck in your event....we love going to Geo-Socials. If God is your co-pilot, it's time to change seats!!! http://www.mi-geocaching.org/ Link to comment
+Paul Ag Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 A kayak trip is a little different then a normal summer picnic. I would x the pot luck idea because of space limitation of a kayak. I would have everyone bring a item to make a cache to hide for sure. That would let the memories live on. You could have a contest for finding caches. The best entertainment would be if you were single and you hooked up with a another geocacher. Now that would make a good event. Link to comment
Jomarac5 Posted July 20, 2003 Author Share Posted July 20, 2003 Paul, thanks for the suggestion for everyone to bring an item to make a cache -- that's very cool and would indeed make a legacy of sorts. The pot luck dinner idea is not so difficult as might be expected as a lot more can be packed into a kayak than most people think. I really, really like the idea of getting hooked up with another cacher but I'm pretty sure my wife will have a problem with that one. Thanks for your suggestions -- they're greatly appreciated. ***** Link to comment
The Night Cachers Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 I will look at the caches you've hidden in the past (to see if I can answer my own question), Jomarac5...but since this is related to kayaking...have you hid any underwater caches on your trips? -=-The Night Cachers-=- Link to comment

To be honest, I haven't even given it any thought but the idea sounds interesting. I placed another kayak cache yesterday (waiting for approval) and have plans to place another two kayak caches in the next week or so. Your username gives me an idea -- we could do a night cache near the campsite since we're going to be staying overnight -- could be very interesting. Hmmm... ***** Link to comment
+Paul Ag Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 People here in Houston do not Kayak. I put one out some time ago and it is still untouched. I can explain it to you; but I can't make you understand it. Link to comment

+TEAM 360 Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 What Makes a Good Cache Event? Alcohol. Lots of it. And hot chicks in bikinis doing the "Geocaching Car Wash". Link to comment

Kanto Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 What have you hidden in your caches during a kayaching trip? Were they kayak-related items? ______________________________________________ Kanto Link to comment

They're just normal caches with normal cache type booty. There's not too many kayak related items (if any) that only cost a buck or two. ***** Link to comment
