[Az-Geocaching] Re: Most found in a day.

Wed Dec 7 13:09:10 MST 2005

It WAS a long day (actually 2 days because I didn't
sleep before the caching insanity due to some last
minute planning alterations). My goal was 110 (double
my previous record) and fortunately I had something
like 162 planned and manually put into my GPS. There
were some set backs throughout the day (caches I
couldn't find) but that is to be expected. I was
obviously in a rush so I could only spend so much time
on a cache but my batting average for the day was
pretty good in my opinion. Around noon I began to lose
hope of reaching my goal but then came the SCRUNCH
series which bouyed my spirit (and average hourly
cache find rate). There were several frustrating
moments when I would see a gathering of people in a
park right next to a lamp pole or table where the gps
was pointing to. I knew those would have been sure
finds but I couldn't just wait for them to leave. It
was so frustrating to abandon sure finds! After I
finished I headed to IHOP with my brother and Frieza.
Somehow I got home and I slept til 3 the next day.
Then came the logging. I thought finding them all was
the hard part. LOL   Anyway, Thanks to everyone who
placed these caches. Without them I would not have
been able to do it.   Omniterranaut (OTN)
