+M&DofKJE Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Well me and my wife did 50 on our Anniverasry in August. Second place is 35 with me and my 7 y.o. daughter. Had I not had her in tow, I might have gotten.... 25. (I keep telling Team Rebellion to take her along. She never runs out of energy and is a natural tunnel rat.) Team Rebellion also made a recent feast on ours and Agent K's caches in Daytona Beach. 54 in a day for the team leader. I think the team hit more, but Zatoichi had found some previously. Of course all of ours and hers are easy finds... as long as you enjoy the company of non-cachers.... lots of non-cachers. Quote Link to comment
+Zatoichi Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 OK, my friends... the 2005 Edition of 'Team Rebellion' is shaping up nicely. The primary search team consists of four firefighters. Our support team is one firefighter and two 'others'. We are still looking for one additional firefighter to man the support van, preferably someone with photography skills. Our plan is to hit Nashville NLT September 2005. We still have to work out some sponsorship issues, but things are moving along as anticipated. Laptops, xxx handheld GPSr's, re-radiating antennas, xxx portable radios, Wi-Fi... the longistics alone will drive someone nuts! There have been two attempts on the record so far this year. One was well planned but fell short due to weather. The second attempt was by 'Team Maple Leaf' and they established an "all women's team record" of 140 finds. This May there are two serious teams who will attempt to break our record during Geo-Woodstock III. Our record was a hard earned 246 finds. Research indicates that with a few changes and additions we can hit 294 caches. Hopefully, with a little tweaking, we will be able to find a way to hit the magical 300 mark. Can we do it? I'll bet that if CarleenP was on our team we could do it. Us Irish have to stick together, you know. Stay tuned for updates... Quote Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 My record, while caching by myself, was 15. Group caching with Team Perks, I found 54 in a 12 hour period. This included a several hour geocaching event. My second best was 39 in one day. My newest acheivement was 8 FTFs in a 48 hour period. Quote Link to comment

The Junkyard Dogs Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Saddly after reading most of these I feel like an under acheiver we are stuck at 3. And that we do with baby on my back and pulling my 10 year old. I really thought we were doing well. HA HA. I now have to really pick a day and possibly a sitter and reevaluate our number potential.

When I bring my daughter along, or the whole family, I can't hunt for numbers. We have to stop too many times to feed, and change the baby. Carrying a 3yr old up hills to log (3 + star terrain) caches is hard work also. Quote Link to comment

+humanloofa Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 I think my record for on day was around 47. I did 72 over a weekend. Just did 36 a few weekends ago, that included a CITO and 500 mile of driving. Quote Link to comment

+KKTH3 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Our one day record is 9 on a trip to Scottsbluff, NE and back. We left just as the sun was rising and hit our 9th cache as the sun was setting and drove the last 45 miles home in the dark. Our second best is probably only 6. It seems that the few times we are in more cache dense areas, we have very little extra time for caching. The one day we purposely set aside a full day for caching in Denver, everything went wrong and we misplaced the GPSr. It was actually with us all along - tucked in the seat cushions of the truck - but that was not discovered until the next day while on our way back home. Our best so far this calendar year was this past weekend when we attended an event and found 4 caches on the way home from said event. For us, that is a typical power caching day.

+sbell111 Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 There is absolutely no shame in "just" 8 or 10 or so in a day. 50 or 100 or 200+ in a day is a. a product of local cache density and a majority of "easy grabs", and b. simply approaching such a day with a completely different approach/mindset. -Dave R.

+Corp Of Discovery Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I recently (April 8th) had a big day and completed a goal I've had for some time (finding 30 caches in one day my home area, Chicago, and doing it solo). It wasn't only the numbers that drove me. I also had another goal- the widest posible variety of caches. I found ammo cans after a nice hike, micros in the woods, urban micros, a dedicated night cache, a virt, a multi, a webcam, a mystery, found a previous DNF, DNFd a previous DNF again (I'll get it eventually), used my bike for one, walked more than a few miles, found caches with a flashlight at night and even found one of the oldest caches in the area. My final total was 37. Quote Link to comment
+TrailGators Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I found 101 in Palm Springs with Flagman and RocketMan about a year and a half ago. We basically did it for the heck of it and none of us have any intention of doing it again. RocketMan had it all mapped and planned out very well. We drove up from San Diego to attend an event up there. We walked over 10 miles and also 4-wheeled to a bunch of caches. We had a blast! We quit around 7PM to go have some pizza and beer at the event. Quote Link to comment
+Criminal Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I was just out geocaching today and picked up 8 caches for 12 kilometers of walking. 8 caches in a day is my current record, from 7 in a day which was set just 2 days ago. The question here is what is your record for most caches in a day. If you're a "numbers don't matter" person please take no offense and move on to the next thread My record is 20+ miles in 11+ hours, total caches, zero. One DNF. Quote Link to comment
+hikergps Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 11 on a few-hundred-mile roadtrip. Most of them were lame. My best caching day was an all day hike to 1. Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I believe my one day record is ^40's in Gatlinburg, TN. In Nashville we found many caches but only 30+ in one day, we were there for over 3 days so we spread it out. If I recall correctly, the one day record was set in Nashville. I can see why, there is a cache every .10 mile. I love it! Quote Link to comment
+Airmapper Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I've gotten 17 in one day, but if you count visits to places where I DNF'ed, it would be around 20. Quote Link to comment
+timk54 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 On Mothers day my wife wanted to go Geocaching. (isn't she great) I chose ten caches in the local area that were in challenging locations. We found 9 out of the original ten I had planned. We didn't stop wanting to get to that magical 10 number. Found one more and then had a great dinner afterward. (No she didn't have to cook) The hours spent with my honey that day were wonderful. We will probably do the same thing again next Mothers day. timk54 Quote Link to comment
+Jhwk Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 19 in 7 hours walking the national mall - All Verts, but still loved it. Think the most real were 13 in K.C. a few moths back. love the old thread revival. Quote Link to comment
+A,J&BG Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Our record is 52 in a calendar day... That is with two adults and two child (10 & 7)... We all got out of the car at each cache. The kids loved it! The last weekend in June we are headed to Salt Lake City to do a 3 day no stop cache run. It should be fun! Quote Link to comment
+Tsmola Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 I broke my record Tuesday, and I hadn't even planned on it. I found 10 in about 4 or 5 hours. It just turned out I got lucky find myself near to a piece of WMU property up in K-zoo and picked 6 caches out of it that added to the 4 others I had found earlier in the day. There were a bunch more nearby I didn't try to get that day since I was getting tired and bugs were eating me. Not only that I'm not a numbers guy anyway. Quote Link to comment

+kayak-cowboy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Around 100 give or take. Did the "BOB" caches in Chicago, Ill. After the 1st 5 you knew exactly what you where looking for. The last 95 was pretty boreing. The best part of the trip was socializing with other cachers. Also, did the APE cache in Ill. before returning to southern Indiana. Quote Link to comment
+mellisarock Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 We average 13 or 14 if we are going to make a day if it!!! I cache with my three kids and if we are going to go somewhere just to cache we want to make sure that we find a lot!!! I would love to find someone to cache with -- just to see how many I could get without the kids!! This is the greatest sport!!!! Quote Link to comment

+Miragee Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 On one day, during which we hiked more than 12 miles, I found 32 caches. That is my record . . . so far. Quote Link to comment
+Davispak Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Nashville must have one every corner and at every street light. Wow. Ok now on to my record. I cache with the little paks and so we don't hit a whole lot. Our previous record was 4 in a single day, but that was bfore they said they wanted to do micros. we only stayed with Regular sized caches. Once we moved to micros, at their request, we got 7 in one day. They were all really close together and we usually only cache for about an hour or two bfore they get tired and are ready to do something else. I think we could easily get more, but that would make it into more like work than a game. Quote Link to comment
+Teamcoz Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 We did 13 while on vacation on the Outerbanks. We will be in Clearwater at the end of July and there are alot down there near our relatives so we will probably break that record. Quote Link to comment
+Roland_oso Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I found 67 caches within a 24 hour period. 13 hours and 10 min of actually caching. I covered 64.4 miles according to my track log of which 12.1 miles were hiked during my spree. I started a 4:30 Thursday afternoon and cached for 5 1/2 hours and found 30 on Thursday. Then got up the next morning found 37 more caches before the clock struck 4:30 on Friday afternoon. BOOKMARK LISTING Quote Link to comment

+hukilaulau Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 My record for BEST caching day was when I drove 100 miles to do a couple of caches in New Hampshire. Six caches in two states, TWO yellow jeeps! About 12 hours. And all six were excellent caches! I've gotten more in one day, but as a Wise Weasle once said, I don't think I explored enough on those days... Quote Link to comment
+leather-man Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I went out with my wife yesterday and we had 23 caches loaded in the GPS. We didn't hunt all day but did some shopping stops and a long sit down lunch. I wanted to hit some micros as I have been avoiding them and some rails to trail caches. When we got home in the afternoon we were both surprised to find 11 finds in the PDA. It wasn't like hiking the hills where we live but we did put on 8 miles of walking which is what got us into this hobby. Quote Link to comment
+Kacky Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 It's 3. We are easily distracted. One time we were running out of gas so we had to let some go by. And then we passed by a bait shop that was alos a diner and well, ya gotta stop there. then there was the time we couldn't find Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment
+KA7CJH Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 On June 4th I hit 28 finds. That was a long 11.5 hours. Started in Reno,Nv. And made a circle around Downieville,Ca - Quincy,Ca then home again. Had over 15 of them done before lunch. Can't wait to do that again. Chris KA7CJH Quote Link to comment
+Jeep_Dog Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 On 8/13/05 I had 16 found in about 6.5 hours of caching. My goal was 20, but had a couple of DNFs, and had a couple I found requiring serious bushwhacking and/or a hike (one a tricky multi with a couple of DNFs), so it was not necessarily a numbers run per se, since I could have done more if I slected P & Gs. That is not my caching style in the least to get even half this many in a "run." I like to stop and smell the flowers, and explore the region in which a cache is placed. I simply did it becasue, well, "I could," and wanted to see what a cache numbers run was like. You know, just in case I was missing something. Well, it was fun for the one day that I did it, but I probably will not do it again, since I do like to take my time and explore. When I return home, I will probably stick to the 4-8 routine that seems my most prevalent pattern. Quote Link to comment

+Boot Group Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 14. Twelve of them were multi-caches with mostly three steps. Two were regular caches. I drove at least 140 miles that day. I left the house at 6 AM, arrived back home just after midnight. That was a good day. I was working on a series in my area, called the Middlesex Canal Series. Plus, I picked up a few regular caches that showed up on the radar, so to speak, as we were on the hunt. It was an absolute blast. I was exhausted for days. Quote Link to comment
