+Mike & Jess Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 1568 caches. That is ~55 seconds a cache in 24 hours. Looking at your stats, I see; Most finds in a day: 764 on 8/26/2011; 755 on 8/27/2011; 546 on 1/1/2011 Would be interested in hearing how you pulled those off. Quote Link to comment

Or they could try to (3 finds in about 160 seconds). But it would be tough to do that for 24 hours. If the terrain was that easy here, it wouldn't be hard to hold that pace for a few hours. Definitely not what I had ever thought geocaching would become when I started. Quote Link to comment

POWER TRAILS thats how you pull that off. The 2 700+ days were on the ET Highway and the other was on the RT 66 power trail. The 1568 I just made up. After power trails came into play what does it matter how many you can find in one day. There have been many threads on this subject and the results are never ever good results. Quote Link to comment

Being that in our area, powertrails are 15-20 caches... Ya, we'll sign/stamp every log, put it back and even log it online. The reason I asked the original question is that I think in Ontario Canada, the cache count in a single day is below 200 caches (may be more now). We don't have long desert roads like route 66 where caches can be jump, stamp, jump in. Quote Link to comment
+OZ2CPU Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 well I found 403 caches in ONE day.. like really finding and signing and hiding again, it was ULTRA hard core, nothing easy at all, the top score pr hr was 46 I nearly passed out and had to stop moving compleetly at 23hrs tha last hr I just sat in the car while others drove me home, it took me two days to remember how to spell my name again. I must say it is impossible to truely beat it, unless you just cheat somehow, like team logging and all that stuff we hear happen all the time. 1500 a day.. ya right, why not a million..

You REALLY think 403 caches in one day can't be beat unless you cheat. LMAO. Come on out to the ET highway or RT 66 and see if you can beat the 403. The first ET Highway I started by myself and knocked out 340+ in a little over 6 1/2 hours. Signed and replaced every single cache by myself. I went to the noon event and made the 6 hour drive back home because I got bored. Left my dang ipod at home or else i would have kept going. So just becuase you only managed 403 caches in 24 hours doesnt mean others cant beat you and not cheat. See where these type of threads go. I dont leap frog or 3 cache monte either.

To me, it's not about the numbers, it's about the memories. I can remember very few of those caches I found on that 33 cache day. I've only found 70 caches this year but I can remember most of them as they include finds in 5 different countries and include a FTF was was almost 9400 miles from home. Quote Link to comment

+ras_oscar Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 There are always peopel that want to be "king of the hill" I have heard of people that have confirmed cache day records of several thousand. That requires careful planning, teamwork (one person drives and navigtates, one finds, one logs and records) and a full 24 hours. Not my idea of a day of fun, but to each his own. My personal best day was 102. That's certainly not a record, but it was a memorable day for me. Quote Link to comment

AZcachemeister Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 OK who wants to define 'three cache monte' and 'leapfrogging' to me? three cache monte: A new (hopefully similar or even exact replica) container with a signed log is placed at cache #1. Cache #1 is retrieved, and signed while traveling to cache #2, and is left at that location. Cache #2 is retrieved, signed on the way to Cache #3, and left there. Cache #3 is retrieved and signed on the way to Cache #4...ad nauseum. leapfrogging: The 'team' splits up into multiple vehicles, with each vehicle only stopping at every other, or every third, (etc) cache. The entire 'team' in all the vehicles logs all the caches even though any particular vehicle may have only stopped at every third cache. Quote Link to comment

You know which one was the most fun, yes the 60 in 15 hours, the small power trail was BORING. I agree. We tried a power trail once, got 3 caches in and got bored. Went for icecream instead. When I see anyone with alot of finds (800 or more) in one day. I think of stamping a "*" beside their screen name. Good thing I dont have any 800+ days, I wouldn't want a stamped "*" by my name. Whatever that means. When you put an Asterisk beside someones name, it means they may had cheated. Questionable cheaters get 'em as well. :laughing: :laughing: We have a few cachers locally that need an asterisk beside their name. My favorite local cheater generally isn't even with her partner when he makes a find. She tops it off with a smilie face for an online log. (sorry off topic). Looks like my goal when trying to make a BIG jump in daily finds will be to find by myself with no team or any other practice that seems to be questionable. I am thinkin the same for next summer, but because of the cost of fuel and the fun of spending a day with a few friends, I'll probably car pool with a couple cachers, but we will all sign the logs and place the cache back where it was found. I'm also a huge fan of logging as we find them, so odds are, we'll live log on the GC site. Quote Link to comment
