Most caches found in a day: what's your record? :)


Recommended Posts

I think around 20. It was a lot of micros that I prefer not to do but I was caching with someone else who wanted a friend to go out with them for the day and I volunteered.

The most I have found in a day, on an actual hiking trail was 62 in 11 miles.

 

We had a group of 17 that found 41 on a 12 mile hike, two Saturdays ago.

So... I'm curious to hear more from the 100+ people. Not just a number but also **HOW**? Is it via power trail or do you have a team account and split up an dense urban area? etc.

 

Thanks

So, I can easily believe 100 in a day... but seriously, how do you get 400+ in one day??

 

My personal best so far is 15. I've only been caching for a week and have done 15 in a day twice.

It helped that I was out in NJ for a work trip and had nothing to do after 5PM but cache with trag_cachers!

I recommend caching with an expert if you're new--made my first week way easier.

Most impressive stats so far, IMO.

17 for just a normal day. But, I've got two power trails I'm planning for when the snow melts, so that will be far surpassed. Just wondering how I'll long what may be 50 or 60. Can't see writing a long log for each one :unsure:

101 in White Rock BC. There was a cache machine but we really did not pay too much attention to the route. (2 of us)

 

Definitely the #s matter if its power trail or not. Getting 101 in a city you are not familiar with is a lot different than a power trail. Most likely will never cache 24 hours straight again, too crazy for me.

161 doing several power trails at once. I started at midnight and went till I couldn't go no more. I did them all solo

I set a new personal best today of 76. Went to an event then did a 60cache powertrail nearby. Took 7 hours from the start of the event until we left town.

I set a personal best on my bike this month of 42 caches in a day, took about 10hours, but it wasn't a powertrail... I was sore after that!

31 for me. I had a full day free after a meeting at Google in Mountain View. I spent the day meandering towards SFO for a late flight back home. It's interesting to see a few 500+ daily finds. With the proliferation of PTs I would imagine that there are quite a few with totals that high. Prior to 2009 when the guidelines changed the number of geocachers with 100+ daily finds was probably pretty low compared to the number of geocachers with 500+ finds that we see today.

13

Me too. I just did 13 in one calendar day last week. In 24h, it would be 17. After the 13, I found 4 more just after 0000h. All on foot. Walked about 13.5 km after supper and 3 beer.

Managed to get 26 in a day once. Probably could have gotten a few more, but it wasn't as much fun after so many. Lesson learned : if I want a big numbers run, I have to abort DNFs a lot quicker, and cache with a friend.

We found 1157 in one 24 hour run. We also found 824, and 566 on 2 other runs. However, the most caches we found NOT in a row, was 413 near Denver, in one day. A normal day for us is around 70 caches in daylight.

35 on a loop from North Lake Tahoe up through Quincy, back down the Feather River on CA-70, then Sierra Nevada Brewery for dinner in Chico, then back down to the Bay Area. We didn't even try to stop for all the caches on the route, but had a PQ for all of them. Then just stopped whenever we felt like it and a cache or two was coming up. We'd gotten 24 or so the day before on our way up to Tahoe. That was really about my limit. I probably could do 50 in a day, but after a while it's too much for me. The power trails just aren't my bag.

 

Most on foot was probably 10 or 12 on a 7-8 mile hike.

1157 in 24 hours is almost 1 per minute (48.2 / hour). How do you travel 528 feet per minute while caching? Call me confused...
