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.

blend together...but congrads
