Holy Smokes. That sounds a bit fantastic. Just crunching the numbers...

At the minimum separation of 500 feet, that means you walked 30 miles in 
12.5 hours. Or 2.4 miles per hour. And that is if you spend no time 
whatsoever finding or logging the cache. So if you spend an average of 1 
minute to find the cache, log the find and rehide the cache, you have to 
subtract 317 minutes from the 12.5 hours leaving 7.22 hours to cover 
that 30 miles. So that makes your walking speed 4.2 miles per hour, 
which is faster than normal walking speed, which is somewhere between 3 
and 4 mph.

I am guessing this has to be some kind of special speed course optimized 
to generate high find rates. Or?
