APA = Acton Paddle Action
These caches were placed via kayak and that would be the best way to approach them. Most of the caches are tubes attached to overhanging branches (mostly sycamores). Before you strike out to log these read below:
Water Level:
The folks at Hueston woods don’t measure or track the lake level. It seemed to be down a little when I placed these. But it is not a flood control lake so I’m not sure how high it can get. Most of the caches were placed a couple feet (at least) above the water line. To help you judge I put a pic of the dock versus water from the day I placed the caches on this cache page. 2 feet above this level you is OK. Much more and many of the caches will be under water.
Terrain:
All are T5. Before you try to approach from land consider that there’s steep shore lines around most of the lake and even if you managed to get there some wading would be in store. All caches were placed from the cockpit of a kayak. The shoreline is pretty shallow, so a canoe should work, MAYBE a shallow draft john boat. The harbor rents various water craft.
Containers:
Most are tubes – I added some features such that you MIGHT be able to extract the log with your fingertips, but I’d bring tweezers/hemostat and a permanent marker just in case any of the logs are damp or are difficult to get out. Some spare containers and cable ties might come in handy too.
One loop around the lake is about 5 miles. No big power boats out there.
The boat launch is at: N 39 34.976 W 84 45.604
Many times the cache name will be the hint.
