I have found that I just don't get as many caches in a day as I would like. I got into this as a fun thing to do with the kids, and a day at the part seems to be as much fun to them as the hunt. My daughter is 10 she always takes time to throw rocks in the water, play on the play equipment, swing etc. Several times I have brought her friends with us. So far my record for caches in a day is (2). It's all about having fun and getting us out of the house.
