+mfamilee Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Our farthest cache find was 584 miles away. On vacation from Illinois to North Carolina. Quote
+Neener! Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 1700 miles - From Minneapolis MN to Cancun MX I purposely let three of them (all within a mile of each other) be find numbers 100-102 Quote
+Shuckymomo Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 All of my caches have been found in California. Since I am now living in Prague, come tomorrow, once I find a cache, it will be the first farthest from home. What is that? Like 6000+ miles? Of course, I'm living here, so, technically it's not the farthest from home....but I am still a US Citizen.... Quote
+BrrrMo Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) 432 Miles at Crater Of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas. The state Parks there all have a Cache that is placed and maintained by Park personnel. Neat idea. Edit spelling Edited March 28, 2009 by BrrrMo Quote

tttedzeins Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 According to GSAK 14625.28Km (9140.625 miles). Those decimals are desperately important. Quote
terencem Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 4755.9 miles. While I was visiting my new grandson in WA I found myself doing my 1st "caching" and it now is taking over my life. Terry Quote

+sbell111 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 The farthest that I've found is 5034.5 miles away from my home. In August, we'll be going to the olympics and I hope to find a few that are around 7000 miles away. My current 'farthest find' is 6989.5 miles away. Quote
+BBWolf+3Pigs Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I found several on Guam (~8000mi) which included a FTF! Quote

+Don&Betty Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) The farthest cache we've found was Victoria Falls in Zambia, southen Africa, 8059 miles from home at Jackson, Michian, USA. Though we found it there on Sep 29, 2006, I just got around to logging it today. Still didn't get the pics to upload in the correct size. Guess that's why I put it off so long. I'm slow with Photoshop et al. Edited April 26, 2009 by Don&Betty Quote
+Still_Avatar Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Bangalore, India NE 8113.8mi from your home coordinates Quote
Andronicus Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 actualy its a tie 1922.7 miles the two caches are: GCTXBA and GCTA9R Dude, you just gave away your home coordinance. Easy enough to triangulate that one. Although, those two caches are so close togeather, I guess the accuracy of the triangulation is probably virtualy nill. Any way, so far my farthest cache is SW 158km, but 311 km driving. Not very impressive, but I have a few lined up this summer that are slightly over 3700km (2300 miles). Quote
+NYPaddleCacher Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 The farthest cache we've found was Victoria Falls in Zambia, southen Africa, 8059 miles from home at Jackson, Michian, USA.

I'm slow with Photoshop et al. I also found a cache in Victoria Falls, but the one I found was in Zimbabwe. When I was there (Dec. 2007) there was a virtual cache on the Zambia side but I didn't get to it. The furthest for me, though, was one in Johannesburg, GC15TVT (Aviation) at 8132.6 from home in Ithaca, NY. Furthest North: TB Hotel Shiphol (Amsterdam, NL) Furthest East: Aviation (Johannesburg, SA) Furthest South Aviation, (Johannesburg, N) Furthest West, Public Access, (San Francisco, CA) I may be going to Peru in January and while it won't add any distance to the greatest E/W/N/S caches it could give me a find on the 4th different continent and 7th country in which I've found a cache and I'm still just over 3/4 of the way of reaching my 1000th find.

+geodarts Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Caches in italy would probably be the farthest for me, but sometimes the farthest cache is one that may only be a few miles from my house: by the time you cross the ridge, hike a steep path down to the bottom along a lake, bushwhack your way through dense underbrush and fallen trees, follow the even steeper contours around the lake, and eventually make your way to a cache, it can seem a lot further away than Rome or Venice.

DarthJustice Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) The farthest one away that I have found just so happens to also be my very first out of town find. And it's very small compared to the distances that I've seen in the topic. It's Purposefully Pass this Predictable Pole Cache IV and it is 51.6 miles east of where I live. I found it on March 4th earlier this year. Edited May 23, 2009 by DarthJustice Quote
+todd300 Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Dang. You guys really travel. Been doing it for a month and I only have found caches no further than 50 miles away. But that'll change as I plan on taking some summer road trips. Even then about 180 or so miles at the max. Michigan's Upper Peninsula is dense with caches so there will be lots for me to find in the U.P. alone. Quote
Styluss Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 1,350 miles away... pales in comparrison to many of you. I live in Colorado but am from Oregon. I have had to make many trips to Oregon recently for deaths in the family. And although that might not be the best reason to travel, it does open up the opportunity for some long distance Caching!

+on4bam Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 So far: 7695.61 km, 16,000,000 Bricks GC8EA3, Fl, USA In a few weeks time it should be about 9500Km if there's enough time to go caching Quote
+lcandela123 Posted May 25, 2009 Posted May 25, 2009 Mine was in Tokyo, about 7000 miles away from home (PA). Actually, it was also my first find. I was there on a business trip with colleagues, and one took us caching on our day off. Now I'm hooked. Quote
