This seemed to have some useful info:

Although we’re not sure what the exact requirements are, we do know they make clamp-on lights that attach to the edge of the cockpit. We’ve seen kayaks out at night that only displayed a single white light, but it would be a good idea to check if any others are needed.
It’s raining.
Nothing for us in the southern latitude. Ran down across the Illinois border this AM on an errand and the roads were clear and dry. You guys who aren’t fans of snow could send some our way! 🙂
We like it, too, but we thought our rods and cones were messed up at first! 🙂
We are planning to go for one of Zuma’s Lake Altoona caches this winter-maybe over Christmas break if the ice is favorable.
We use Geosphere for paperless caching and really like it. You do need access to a wireless network in order to load caches, but it does a good job and we like it a lot better than Cachemate, which we used previously.

Same here!
Took a look this morning and it appears the site is up and running.
We’ve used ours for the Christmas tree hunt, too.

A two person kayak is also called a divorce boat, so your decision is a wise one!
That’s what we have! We’re going strong after all these years (and we’re still crazy, too). Captain always sits in the back-it’s great for breaks-the one in the front usually takes a while to notice only one is paddling. Anyway, our recommendation would be to look for comfort in a seat configuration if you plan to be in the boat for any length of time.
Several of the aforementioned tools; a PalmTX, which is now retired in favor of an iPod Touch and Geosphere App (we haven’t gone the smartphone route….yet); the usual rubber boots and other outdoor clothing stuff; many rolls of camo duct tape and cans of camo spray paint; other assorted gear such as headlamps and such were from camping and other noncaching pursuits.

I received an email from TC this afternoon, it said,
“This is to inform you that your sponsor, ‘*****’, has revoked your sponsorship. If this is a surprise, you’ll need to ask them about it. I’m just an automated bot, and don’t understand humans or any of the things they do. Without sufficient sponsorship, your access to the site has been restricted. You must have two qualified members sponsoring you for full access. I’m sorry for the unfortunate inconvience, but this is a natural part of the process in a sponsorship based community.
I believe this might have been an automated message that has to do with the site closing, and really has nothing to do with my sponsorship being “revoked”
I think we got the same thing a couple of years ago after not being active on the site for too long a period of time. It turned us off to the entire concept and we never looked back.

I think I got it.
I was trying to download caches in Texas, and the Garmin must not list them if they outside of a certain mile radius?
Is that radius thing correct?? any Garmin owners??Correct. I’m not sure what the distance is, but I think it’s 100 miles. This is only true if searching via “Nearest”. If you search by “Name” then you should be able to see them.
This is an interesting question (the radius thing). We were looking at ours, which currently has a couple of nearby caches loaded with the rest located near the Dells, which is over 100 miles. The furthest one was about 125 miles away.
I don’t think there is a specific radius-ours just seems to show a certain number of the closest ones. If the only ones loaded were in Texas, then some of those should show since they would be the nearest ones. We’ve never found a way to separate them into folders, although there may be one we don’t know. By the same token, once you’re in Texas, those Green Bay ones will never show up.
