Travel Bugs World Record

[+#_7]

Hello TB owners

I just saw a listing for a TB that I logged 5 years ago, that has traveled over 21,000 miles.

Is there a listing showing the Most Miles a TB has traveled ????

That is cool that it has lived that long without being muggled.

We have a personal coin that we dip into caches as we find them. The coin was given to us about a year after we started caching and to date, we have over 23,000 miles on it.

My personal travel bug has logged over 165,000 miles. My best bug to date ("1492") traveled almost 36000 miles, mostly heading only west before the cache it was in was muggled. It went more than the whole way around the planet!

Our Devil Ducky Derby Racers have racked up quite a few miles over the last 16 months! Here are our top three competitors:

 

1. Black - 94,499 miles

2. Green - 61, 271 miles

3. Orange - 21,802 miles

 

We are super-stoked to see Black approaching 100,000 miles!

My husband's TB "Mike the Bunny" has traveled over 200,000 miles! Thanks to juan bob, who is an airline pilot, Mike the Bunny has seen so many places!

My personal TB has traveled with me for 4 years and has logged 72,000+ miles. It has seen action in Iraq, visited New Orleans a few weeks after hurricane Katrina, missed a Tornado in New Jersey by less than 1/2 a mile and one in Mississippi by even less!

I was just wondering the same thing today when I noticed a TB I found a while ago has over 30,000 miles on it. I was also wondering if there was a list of TB's that had traveled the farthest, kinda like a top 10 list. Then I wondered who owns, or is currently holding, some of the oldest TB's? Will continue looking through the threads. I am sorry to say that all of my TB were stolen or the caches muggled. Not sure if I will put any more out.

There's been issues with people virtually logging bugs through caches around the world (within minutes), and passing tracking numbers around, so top mileage isn't that much fun to follow.

 

You can look through some of the early bugs by changing the bug id number

4 seems to have been held since April of last year.

 

You can always re-release your bugs after they are lost. No sense in letting lost bugs sit quietly.

Chris Rake aka Crake (of crake coins) sent this cool bit of TB info out in has latest coin newsletter:

 

Back in February an Astrolabe geocoin was carried into space by Dr. Stan Love on the space shuttle Atlantis (STS 122). This mission delivered the Columbus research lab to the International Space Station and the shuttle (including its Geocoin cargo) traveled 13 days, 202 orbits and over 5.2 million miles!

 

Way to GO Chris!

Very cool, but those miles are bogus if the coin wasn't logged into any caches by the good Dr. Love. I am pretty sure that coins and bugs I have carried while in search of caches have logged nearly as many miles as I have wandered in circles near GZ.
