That’s awesome me and my friend are planning a run of caches this week around London ontario Canada. I highly doubt that we will beat this number but we are super excited about our personal challenge

This is obviously not geocaching in the “normal” sense of the word. There is no way one single person could reach such numbers in 24 hours – it’s pure mathematics. Of course, as a team effort it’s “easier” (albeit still quite the challenge), but doing it that way is not in accordance with the guidelines. Every member (also the driver) should sign the log individually, and the caches should be found one at a time.

For the mathematics: Just driving the 161 meters from one cache to the next takes a certain amount of time. Additionally, each member of the team needs some time to get out of and into the car. And of course, even if all caches are hidden in obvious places, it will still take some time to find it, open it, sign it and replace it, and the number of cachers will of course increase the time spent. If I understand this story correctly, 1108 of the caches found during this record, was logged in just 18 hours. That leaves a mere 58,48 seconds per cache. I find it very unlikely that this is possible geocaching the traditional way.

If this is fun you guys should come to Ulm, Germany. Here are some of the best caches in the world. For one (Schatz der Ulmer) you need between 6 and 12 hours. Its only one point but its more fun than sitting in the car and write your name on a paper. Geocaching should be quality not quantity!

The Alien highway is currently covered with snow. If you are planning on going up there, dress warm.

Wow, I can’t even begin to imagine how many wonderful places will never get a cache in it because of this “power trail”. Geocaching is often described as a modern day treasure hunt… when did signing your name on a piece of paper become a treasure? It has been months since I took anything from a cache, but still I think the option should always be there. Film canisters up and down a highway… sounds like a lot of litter too me.
