Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Clear Lake Area Paddle Series. This 12 cache series is designed so that the caches would be obtained, primarily, by paddling (kayak, canoe, raft, etc.). Of course, there may be other ways to get to the cache. We leave that to you. We hope that other cachers will contribute to this paddle series or start their own in other nearby areas.

Sound like fun? It should be! But before you attempt this series, please consider the following:


  • You will get wet, and possibly soaked, doing this series.
  • Bring a couple gallon-sized ziplock baggies -- one for your GPSr (easy to operate in a large bag), one for your camera and phone, and one for anything else you don't want to get wet. Trap a little air in them and they float should they fall out of the boat.
  • Bring sunscreen!
  • Bring a hat - especially in summer.
  • Bring lots of bottled water!
  • Wear a PFD / Lifejacket.
  • Bring your camera... but don't drop it!
  • Bring your cell phone... just in case.
  • No motors are allowed in Armand Bayou from GPS marker #4 upstream through trail marker #26 (and various other places off the lake - should this series expand from others).

There are no geocaching.com attributes for alligators. Watch out for alligators! They are out there... somewhere. The one on the photo of this page was seen leaving CLAPS #7 going to #8. DO NOT FEED or pester the alligators - you could get in trouble in more ways than one.

Contact me through my geocaching.com profile if you need ideas on how to get paddling to get these caches.

Now - for the CLAPS Bonus Cache! – GC29MN7

Six of the caches in this series (#01-#12) have a number under the lid (which is poor) and a number written on the outside of the container near the lid. Collect them all, and note both the cache series number and the number under the lid. The bonus cache is located at N 29 33.ABC, W 095 03.DEF, where A is the number in the lid of the lowest number cache in the series, and F is the number in the lid of the highest number cache in the series. Note - this series has more than 6 caches, so you’ll have to pay attention. We’re not saying which they’re under.
