Man, we were so close! We hadn't read that far into the notes. We had been working on the puzzle, but hadn't completed it in time. And if Libby set her record in the rain, that might explain things. It only rained half the day for us. That must be why it took us twice as long. Let that be a lesson to the rest of you. If you want to set a record, you need a rainy day in Arizona!

Team Evil Fish if I remember correctly Libby didn't you do it in the rain? ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Tomlinson To: listserv@azgeocaching.com Sent: Sunday, March 02, 2003 9:34 PM Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Other Congratulations No, we certainly didn't do it in under 8 hours. That's less that 12 minutes a piece including drive, park, find, log time. I can see why that wouldn't be fun. No, we do this first and foremost for the fun. We completed the tour in about 15 hours. Started with flashlights and ended with flashlights. We had a BLAST!! Picture us, two techie geeks, all decked out. In the truck, we had the power inverter running saving the laptop batteries. On the laptop we had Microsoft MapPoint. We had spent about a week selecting caches, solving puzzles, and optimizing our route. We kept my GPSr in the truck, linked to the laptop. We used his GPSr in the field. We knew where we were going, how we would get there, and when we should get there. We had estimated how long each cache would take to find. Our plan ended up being fairly accurate. With all of this prep work and supporting technology, we were able to just cruise around following the pre-defined route and enjoy each and every cache we found. We ran into a cache owner and spent time chatting. We played tricks on each other at some sites. Most importantly, we took our time, enjoyed ourselves immensely, AND REMEMBER EVERY SINGLE CACHE. Although we had our eye on that record when we planned the trip, we did not let it distract us from the reason we geocache in the first place... to have fun exploring.

Well having done the 41arizona cache but a total of 45 for the day. I know that your 44 could not have been much fun...they all just blend together...but congrads We will be known by the tracks we leave behind
