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.
