They joined with f0t0m0m on August 29, 2009 in a midnight-to-midnight run that netted 413 caches in one day.

The trip involved extensive planning using GSAK, Google Earth and Geocaching.com. Ventura_kids created nine possible routes, consuming an estimated 45 hours. The team logged its 100th find at 5:30 a.m. By then, they had already battled swarms of grasshoppers who thought their car was a nifty place to hang out in the darkness of night. All day long, our heroes suffered through heat and dehydration in the process of traveling 471 miles.

We interviewed ventura_kids about this remarkable accomplishment in late September. Listen to the entire interview below.
Time: 54:17
