As we are not native English speaking, some inaccuracies obviously have sneaked in to the guidelines. I've edited the first post to clarify. Anwering some of your questions: 1. As Dr. Elmer writes. The team did not split up at any time. Everyone was either out searching or present in/around the car preparing for the next cache. 2. The logs were signed with DK08, if every member should sign, it would not be possible to log that high number of caches. A profil of DK08 exists decribing the members of the team. 3. Every member of the team will individually log every cache even though everyone did not actually touch the cache container. This was a team-achievement and would not have been possible without a driver and navigator (role rotated during the day) that stayed in the car during the search. 4. We had no local guide. Only 8 danish geocachers who had never been caching in the area before. We don't feel that the record would be real if someone knowing the cache location would have been in the car.

We are a group of 8 danish geocachers team DK08 that tried to break the record of 312 caches on 24 hours Sunday May 18th in the Sacramento area. We startede 00.12 and finished 24 hours later. We found a total of 315 caches and are now holding the record as far as we know. We started setting up a set of guidelines to ensure that we did the attempt under conditions that most geocachers hopefully can accept, and that might be followed if anyone attempts to break our record: 1.The cache is logged with our team name for the whole team in the logbook. 2.It is only allowed to search for one cache at a time, that alo means no splitting up to travel to the next location. 3.Not every member of the team needs to be present at the cache (driver and navigator may sty in the car). 4.The planned trip will be tested before the record run to locate parking areas, entrances to parks, places to shop for food and toilets. No caches will be located in advance. 5.It is possible to have a car following to get supplies. They are not allowed to help in the search. 6.Obviously, all traffic laws will be obeyed. 7.The record run is performed in 24 running hours – no time-outs! We have a website coming up powercaching24h.com, where we will post information on our preparation, guidelines, programs used to keep track of the caches and so on. Due to technical problems the site has not been up running before we arrived in the US and we have not been able to do at lot of work on it yet, but that will follow. The web page holds a forum where other geocachers trying to break the record can post information on their attempts. DK08 consists of following geocachers: Dr. Elmer, Picht, gjensen, tottommy, zooor, Sjanten and Schuleit. We are all looking forward to the GeoWoodstock and meeting other geocachers.
