This poll is also to help everyone get a good idea of what we're getting into so that we can start looking into places for the event.

I'm up for pretty much anything that doesn't necessarily require going on the water... Mostly because I don't have a canoe/boat.

I'd like to suggest that we hire "Mantracker" for this event! :D I think the idea of using canoes, kayaks, waterwings, etc., should be explored. It could be fun. How would it be incorporated? Jay did you have any ideas? Like caches on islands?

We should be going for the KISS approach - Keep It Simple, S!

    Well for the water caches I was thinking along the line of Islands and other places along the shore line of the lake / river that may be acessable by land but quicker and easier by water.  This is way I'am holding this poll is to see if we should look into a place to camp out by the water that will give the bike or boat option for the start... plus it's always nice to be by the water.  Now, Wandering_man does he really not have a boat ( I have extras ) or is he scared of the water?

You caught me Jay I fear the deep blue  :P

Actually I could probably score my brother's canoe if need be. A motor boat would be a little harder for me to find.

And I agree about finding a place to camp along the water.. Always a plus and it would be great to be able to dive in after a day of caching.
