March 2005 - 9608.6 miles from my Digs in Yuma, AZ - Mwingi, Kenya GC3FBA

 

While living in Kibwezi Town, I passed through this village (Mwingi) on several occasions. Yes the soda was usually warm --- away of life. I spent two and a half years in Kenya, with the Peace-Corps. Developing a water system and teaching at a Youth Poly-Tech .....................

 

I thought I might have the furthest but yours beats mine by 1500 miles. I was in Zambia on business in November and grabbed one cache in Zimbabwe (Victoria Falls) but on the way there I grabbed one in Johannesburg, South Africa (GC15TVT). It's 8132.6 from my home coordinates (Ithaca, NY).

 

I'm currently on vacatin and found three caches today that are 456 miles from home. Coincidently, on one of them the previous two logs (from two days ago) are from two geocachers that live about 13 miles from me. On the drive on the way down I grabbed a cache about 300 miles from home that was owned by someone I met last summer while searching for a night cache. I noticed one other log in that cache from another cacher I'd met at home.

There was a thread once about finding the antipode to your home coordinates (or something like that). Might be interesting to dredge that one up, it would let people know the general "target area" for a farthest-away cache.

Looks like most of us in North America would be caching in the middle of the Indian Ocean...

Farthest 2886.4 miles from home in Hawaii. Closest one block.

[+SteadyPop]

Mine is 7434.10 miles. The cache (GCW402 - Jebel Ali Jumble) is in Dubai, UAE. I managed to get two of them there with no GPSr. A very understanding taxi driver, a smartphone with the downloaded maps and sattelite photos, and the cache descriptions saved on the phone got me the finds!

 

I also managed to get one in Amsterdam - 4884.39 (GCXNEC - AMS2 - Nooit Meer...) on a layover on the way home!

 

Not too bad for a business trip...

You got me curious what would be the farthest cache from my home that I could find and I found this one in Madagascar. It is 11,101 miles from my home.

I remember that one! That one is about 24,828 miles from my home if I take the northern route to it.

[+StarBrand]

About 910 Miles from my home.

 

In a single out and back day trip - about 210 miles one way.

The Cache Dispenser is 813.4 miles to the NE from where I live. Too bad it is Archived. I liked that one.

[+Night Stalker]

I am working this week in Memphis and have found a few caches so it looks like my furthest is 1317 miles from home. Not in the same class as many of the above. Of course if you added up the total distance of all my finds from home that would be a different matter. I know I can't count that high.

Sorry but there's only one within 10.5 miles of me that isn't mine. I have to go further afield.

My Circle of finds is only about 200 miles and spans 4 states and about 130 finds, most of it over about 4 years. Started in PA. then WV, VA, and NC. The Appalachians Rule - I am an Appalachian American.

A quick look at my stats reveals that I have 91 caches over 1000 miles from my home coordinates or about 4.54% of my total finds

[+Clothahump]

I live in Houston. Once a year, we go to Las Vegas for a convention and I drag along the GPSr. That makes my long distance cache (as of today) be GC4E96 - NE On The Strip.

1215.9 miles from home.

[+StumpWater]

Just upped it today: 10,340.9 miles is the distance from zip 27516, my home coords, to GC61B2.

You said we have to much time on our hands because we went so far to find caches. There is only one cache within 14 miles of my home coords that was not hidden by me. If I didn't go more than 10.5 miles, I would have only one find.

Not hard. Switch out north/south, east/west, and go to Google Earth.

 

Think I will, just to see where I spash down.

Rocket View (GCR6QR)

NW 8449.5mi from your home coordinates (Montana - Singapore)

 

Had just gotten back into caching after a year hiatis, too bad I didn't have my gps working in Bahrain or Dubai .

[+abvhiael]

[+geospyder]

Furthest cache we've found from home was "Oh" No Darling in New South Wales, Australia. That cache is 7606.83 miles from home. Currently we have 241 finds that were over 1000 miles from home. 109 of those caches were over 5000 miles away.

Our's is 4397.3 miles W. Loved it. Kauai, HI But what do you consider Home? We live full time in our RV and travel alot. Always cache in each area. Spend most of our time in Traverse City, MI so for now, consider it home. Edited April 29, 2008 by Cee&Gee

looks like 1932.9 is my farthest cache find. I beleive it's also the first find in Nevada for me. Metamucil Challenge GC90BA. learned what 'rock scambling' is on that trip.

1550 miles, GCR10V, Mexico.

[+The Leprechauns]

Mine is 2156 miles away, in the western suburbs of Portland Oregon. I passed through there on the day when I made the pilgrimage to the Original Stash location.

 

I would have thought that either Whidbey Island, Washington or Newport Beach, California would be farther away from Pittsburgh. But, just because you're close to the ocean doesn't count. Longitude lines don't lie.

[+Klatch]

4830.4 miles, The Sands of Waikiki, now archived.

[+OzGuff]

Asheville NC USA to Tamworth NSW Australia -- 9366.3 miles Yee-Ha! Gui-tar!

 

Was in the area visiting relatives; it was my first physical cache Down Under.

[OGBO]

My farthest was about 9400 miles and it was at the South Pole. Anyone else have the South Pole? Didn't think so. Ha!

 

Well, they didn't have a cache at Patriot Hills or on top of Mt. Vinson, which are much more interesting locations than the South Pole. When I do the Last Degree ski tour in a couple years, I will visit the Pole as well. Besides, I locate caches, I don't "find" them.

 

But my 3 (or 5) farthest actually visited so far (from SFBay Area) are GCB0D5 (Farthest Southern Cache, a virtual in Punta Arenas. Chile, 6963.9 mi), GCGETW (Karibu! - You Made It! - virtual at the summit of Kilimanjaro, 9723.6 mi), and GCBD7C (Murano Island a nice traditional in an interesting place 6044.2 mi), or I could substitute GCJM15 (Vogalonga Venezia - a traditional in Venice, Italy, that was missing when we were there, though we were at the location while it was disabled 6045.9 mi) or a beautiful virtual GC7BFF (The Snail, in Venice, at 6044.8 mi). There were at least 3 cachers who were at GCGETW the same day I was there (this past Christmas Eve Day, 2 of who were also from the US).
