WH Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 (edited) As of the date of this post, my personal TB has 12,463 miles on it. Edited July 12, 2005 by WH Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Fantastic Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 As of the date of this post, my personal TB has 12,463 miles on it. Wow, that blows away my paltry 8909 miles my personal TB has travelled. It would be even less than that if not for the trip to San Diego last fall. Quote Link to comment
+vds Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Depends on whether you wanted a virtual bug, or just a count of miles. I calculate about 80,000 miles from cache-to-cache for me since I started caching, there are undoubtedly folks who travel much, much more. Details in my profile. Quote Link to comment
+Shop99er Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 21,561 miles for mine. Quote Link to comment
+Webfoot Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I've put 5420 miles on A Walk with Webfoot. I don't get out of Southern California much. Quote Link to comment
+joefrog Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 (edited) My Silver Kahuna bug has 22592 miles on it right now. It's still on the move! My personal bug (coin) was only started about 200 finds ago. It has 6133 miles at this time. I never did go back and drop it into every cache I've been to, and I got lazy and don't put it into every cache. Wonder how many miles I've gone to sign a piece of paper?

+nfa Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 7758.3mi for Jamie's Backpack. nfa-jamie Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 WorldTraveler 357,575 But I'm still happy with my 11,047. Quote Link to comment
+AuntieWeasel Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 My Proxy Badger didn't join me until I'd already done a hundred (and I haven't hit 200 yet), but he's been on a couple of long hops for a total of 7,926 miles. I no longer dip him in every cache -- I'm far too lazy for all that logging! -- just one per trip out. Though I usually only do one per trip out. Which is why I haven't hit 200 yet Quote Link to comment
+KC0GRN Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 16609.6mi on my backpack Of course it helps that I've been back and forth to seattle a couple times, and on a California roadtrip back home to St Paul, MN. Quote Link to comment
+Spencersb Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 First guy I thought of was WorldTraveler, but BlueDeuce already got him. My bug is just over 6,500mi, with no single jump longer that about 210mi. Missed my chance to really rack up, since I only thought to start tracking it after find #100, and I went to Seattle and back around #50-75, could have popped nearly 4,000mi right there.

Wonder how many miles I've gone to sign a piece of paper? I back tracked all of my logs for my personal bug, only because I had less than 50 cache finds at the time. Was pretty easy to do. It would be harder to do now though. Quote Link to comment

So go back and backtrack those. It's not that hard. Write a note, backdate it on the cache page explaining what your doing to the cache owner. Then grab your bug backdated as well. You can go back and delete the backdated note on the cache as well. Quote Link to comment
+vds Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 You can also delete one of the two bug page log entries (you need to drop and pickup every time) to clean up your bug's web page a lot. As long as one entry is there the mileage is ok. Only thing I've found so far is you can't drop anything in an earthcache, but you can do so in virtuals. I haven't done a locationless in years so I don't know about those. Quote Link to comment
+BilboB Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Porcupine Head has 16,328 miles on it since 1/26/05. I have yet to update the miles from last year. It would probably double it. I do not log locationless caches with it. Quote Link to comment

I haven't done a locationless in years so I don't know about those. You can't drop a bug in Webcam caches, Locationless caches, and now, apparently, Earthcaches. While I agree with locationless caches, I disagree with webcams and earthcaches, since you have to go to a physical location to find those. Although, you also have to go to a physical location with a locationless, there's only one set point on the cache page and whoever sets it up could set it up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
