+Mopar Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 How about adding a kayaking/canoeing subforum under "Geocaching Adventures" like the fairly recent "Hiking and Backpacking" subforum addition? Like backpacking or ham radio, paddlesports seem a good "fit" with geocaching. Like backpacking and ham radio, many cachers integrate paddlesports into their caching activities, and is a popular topic of discussion in the forums. A quick search on the word "kayak" turns up close to 500 threads. Same with the word "canoe". To give that some perspective, the phrase "ammo can" comes up in less then 600 threads, and the word "satellite" gets around 750 mentions. Like backpacking and ham radio, there is an abundance of specialized gear involved, the discussion of which is somewhat off-topic in other forums. Like backpacking and ham radio, many caches by design require the use of a canoe/kayak/raft. As a matter of fact, I suspect there are many more paddlesport caches then there are backpacking or ham radio required caches. How about it? Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 529 topics mention the word "hamster." Geocacher University has an entire brochure devoted to hamstercaching. Once "paddlecaching" has its own official brochure, then it would be equally deserving of its own forum section. Link to comment
+SharpShin' Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Another vote for a kyaking/canoeing sub-forum. Good idea Mopar.... Link to comment
