I know I'm joining this party late, but I brought an extra one:
128 as follows
row num
cumulative side length
1
11
0.000
2
11 528.000
3
11 1056.000
4
11 1584.000
5
10 2041.261
6
11 2498.523
7
10 2955.784
8
11 3413.046
9
10 3870.307
10
11 4327.568
11
10 4784.830
12
11 5242.091
128
Now the real question, in light of the earlier discussions around
"power trails"... is this a "power grid"
;)

After I corrected my dumb error, I came up with 127.
You can make one of the inbetween rows 11 as well and skip the
triangles, but I don't think there is enough to do it twice, so it
only adds one.

Bill's right
: there's room to double up some square rows in the middle of the
equilateral grid - probably enough to push the total to 128 or 129.
Mathematicians will have to provide the best answer. Maybe I'll dump
the question into the GC.com forums.

Also, did
you know?-
The
maximum number of caches you can fit in a square mile is 100? Well,
that is IF GC.com actually stuck to their .1
"ahem"..."guideline".
