How does one set up for a caching "marathon" in order to maximize the chance for picking up the most possible finds? Do you map locations and bring all the clues you can get your hands on? Is there a planned route to minimize travel time between caches? How about researching each cache you plan on working to make sure the last log wasn't a DNF? I'm looking for help here folks. These are the kind of things I've learned from my early exploratory attempts at this activity. But I'm sure those of you with more experience could adjust my learning curve a bit and get me up to speed.
I've got a weeks vacation coming up in March, and part of it is going to be spent in Missouri. I don't mix well with my in-laws, so I plan on spending a lot of time looking for caches and fine tuning my caching style. Once I get back, I would really like to spend a couple of days marathon caching. Anyone got any tips for me? I would like to use 1 day to see just how many I can pick up.
(My self image is really suffering when I look at you folks stats, then look at my meager 5 pickups.)
