MWWF PC = Miami Whitewater Forest Paddle Cache
One of the guidelines for placing caches in the Great Parks of Hamilton County is that the cache needs to be within 25 feet of an authorized trail. (This is for your safety and not to tear up undeveloped sections of the park.) For these geocaches your "trail" is the lake, and the caches must be approached from the lake. DO NOT BUSHWHACK TO THE CACHE over land. If we suspect a find has been logged without use of a watercraft - it will be deleted! If many start doing it the caches may need to be archived :-(
Miami Whitewater Forest has a boat house with many types of watercraft you can rent - if you don't own one.
There is other "special equipment" you should always bring when doing paddle caches:
- Tweezers or hemostat to extract logs from tubes
- Permanent ink felt tip marker to sign vinyl and damp paper logs
- Maybe some spare log paper
Most of these caches should be obtainable from inside a shallow draft kayak. The containers are long slim (4" long, 3/8" diameter) tubes mostly hidden on over hanging tree branches. The lake was about at typical summer pool when placed. If the water level is high - like in the spring time - some of the hides may not be available.
