The caches can be placed .1 mile apart. At 10 MPH average, it would take 36 seconds 10 drive .1 mile. subtract that from 85 seconds per cache and you have 49 seconds to stop at the cache and do whatever you do to consider it a find. And that's not counting food or pee breaks or gas stops.

What makes these accomplishments hardest to understand is that their are no rules or standards, and there is is no verification. You just have to accept the finder did he caches in a manner that they find acceptable. You can't even compare the accomplishments of the finders of this one series, they each used their own set of rules. Does it matter? I guess it depends. My Appalachian Trail comment a few posts back was meant to be humorous, but what if I was serious? Should I expect equal credit as Rick and those others who have actually hiked it? Or maybe more credit since I did both ways in a month?

This also reminds me, several years ago I volunteered at the middle school to give a hands on science class to a group of ADHD students. One day I happened to be wearing a Stanford University t-shirt and they asked if I had gone to Stanford, to which I replied yes. And it was true, I went there while visiting CA, and bought the t-shirt that day. I wonder if that means I could put that I went there in my résumé? I'll just say I attended under my own terms.
