Planning an afternoon of power caching? Maybe a 24 hour Cache Machine Run? Ready for an all-day cache adventure? We've had some great times power caching and would like to share some tips with you. Just what is Power Caching and Cache Machines you ask?

Power Caching is any geocaching adventure for the main purpose of finding many caches over a space of time, such as an afternoon or even a 24 hour straight geo-marathon.

Cache Machines (popular in the US Northwest area) are organized group-caching on a pre-planned route, usually from dawn to dusk, with a group dinner following the day's activities. Travisl is the main organizer and his profile has the upcoming schedule of Cache Machines and also a great tutorial on how to put one together.

We know caching isn't all about the numbers; we all geocache for all different reasons and some with certain goals in mind, and that these can vary from day to day. So if you are thinking about a Cache Run, here are some tips to get you off to a good start and keep you going:
