He has started posting. Here is his first log. [Found it] December 13 by marcipanek (2149 found) Found solo all 1021 caches plus 2 extras. ET 1 found at 1:40 am and ET 1021 found at 11:55 pm. I will post more later. Signed all the logs with capital M in the circle. Thanks to COs for the effort which went into this series.

Yesterday, a Maine cacher started out by himself just after midnight. He drove, retrieved, signed and replaced all the caches along the ET Highway stretch. We received an update that he had found 500 caches by 10AM and later we were informed that he had reached 1000 finds about 11PM and finshed his 24 hour marathon with 1020. I am in awe of such a solo effort. The physical effort to get in and out of a car that many times in 24 hours is hard to imagine. Then couple all the rest of it! Congratulations Petr. I salute you.

I recreated the queries and 2 of 3 again got the 12:00AM run time. The other got through OK. On the one that ran, I forgot to limit the cache types. On the others I had. When I recreated them again allowing all cache types it ran no problem. Then when I dumped the output into GSAK I deleted the types I did not want and blocked future imports. So I am working around it OK. The good news is I learned of an event along my route that might work, an event I would probably not noticed as it is a long route with very little time in each area so I was not looking for them!

I had the same issue with two new routes at the same time. Another new route successfully ran at 12:09AM. I waited all day Sunday, the mail never appeared. I turned the routes on for yesterday and today, still nothing. I was going to delete the PQ and start over tonight. Fortunately I don't leave for this trip for a week.

I second the use of the Z22, very compact and a ton of memory. I download about 2500 caches into it using GSAK and Cachemate
