RE: [Az-Geocaching] Other Congratulations

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!

Next time Fish...

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.

aaa but the question remains did you do it in 8 hours or less???
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
