First Geocaching trip Part II

Once on the road we started for the first cache on the list I made we get there and find the cache in under 10 min were back on the road. This unfortunately is not the way the rest of the day goes. After 4 hours we're only about an 8th of the way along the route. It looks like this eight hour trip could take the whole two days we have for the trip. Now I have to make a decision do we stop caching altogether till we get to the hotel or do we just limit it. Well, wifey decided we’d just stop every once in a while to stretch our legs with a cache. This arrangement worked out fairly well however the caches we chose to hunt tended to be very hard to find. At about 6pm or so we still had 3 hours or so still of driving time and the hotel desk was only staffed till 9pm. So we drove straight through.
Now for an invaluable piece of Geocaching tip knowledge, ALWAYS get a hotel with a hot tub. This will keep your from being too sore to cache after a 12+ hour day f driving to cache the next morning. Take a 10 to 20 min soak then once back in the room stretch a bit.
