+Hawk-eye Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 Just curious ... what's the longest distance you've seen on a travel bug's mileage? Either one you've placed or one you've encountered. I have a bug that has so far ... gone 3984.86 miles ...

+bigcall Posted May 8, 2002 Posted May 8, 2002 I had placed a bug about a month ago. It was picked up the very same day but didn't go anywhere for a while. Finally it was logged 6782 miles away (from MD to Japan) on it's first and (so far) only move. While this probably isn't the most mileage overall, I bet it's as big a first time move as they come. http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=6165 Way back in the days when the grass was still green and the pond was still wet and the clouds were still clean, and the song of the Swomee-Swans rang out in space? one morning, I came to this glorious place.

+Capt Prozac Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 The Darth Vader TB has logged over 16,000 miles and flown on over 60 hours worth of combat missions over Afghanistan. http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=6139 Quote
+R R Mateys Posted May 9, 2002 Posted May 9, 2002 The Brown-eyed owl is at 9827 and on the move. We got it from MN to Singapore which was a 9070 hop.... North. Thats what an 18hour plane flight can do for you. The Owl just got picked up by someone from the UK and is currently on a cruise ship sailing down the Malacca Strait. I'm anxious to see if he makes it around the world as he's already half way. http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=298 Quote
+15Tango Posted May 11, 2002 Posted May 11, 2002 Bad Randy This travel bug was first placed by me into a cache as a normal trade item, and the next person to the cache turned it into a travel bug. It went from Minnesota to Hawaii, then from there to the U.K., and officially from the website, it has travelled 11179.08 miles. Of course, we don't know what way it went to the U.K. from Hawaii (east or west), so we'll have to settle for the official numbers. 15T www.1800goguard.com Quote

+Beast of Traal Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 This one hasn't gone any where yet but my hopes are for it to travel along ways.

+beatnik Posted May 12, 2002 Posted May 12, 2002 This bug came from Rhode Island. I took it around Tulsa and made a trip with it to Kansas. Then I took it to OKC where it hopped to Utah and then on to the Taj Mahal. 10,207.8 and counting according to the page. I guess it pretty much migrated the world as desired. http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=2416 beatnik Quote
+alienpuppy Posted May 21, 2002 Posted May 21, 2002 My Pink Intel Bunnyperson travel bug has gone to New Zealand, hung out for a few months, and has recently been brought back to North America, and is waiting to be placed in a cache in Canada. 7913.22 without the trip back. Not the most, but something I am proud of, since it was my first release, and it actually hung out in New Zealand, instead of being a travel companion. /Alienpuppy Quote
Team Dragon Posted May 26, 2002 Posted May 26, 2002 I cache in foreign countries with a stuffed cat from my daughter. I've considered attaching a travel bug to "Tabitha" to track the caches she has been to. She's travelled 60,000 miles so far. Quote
+Moosiegirl Posted May 31, 2002 Posted May 31, 2002 http://www.geocaching.com/track/track_detail.asp?ID=4682 -- NOT FAIR that this dang bug can get to Hawaii and back and I haven't been yet! LOL Happy Trails, Candy Candy (moosiegirl) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CentralTexasGeocachers/ Quote
+Tim & June Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 The Travel Bug search/home page gives a list of the to travelled bugs and currently "Oliver" holds pole positionwith 18,817 miles. We released a traveller here in the UK before tags were available in the UK (in fact, not sure if they were available at all). Because we wanted to keep a track of him we set up a website for him here www.gulliverbear.co.uk. I believe we use the same method of calculating travel distance (Great Circle Method) and he has to date travelled 22,194 miles. These miles are TRUE geocacher type (ie. cache to cache) movements not a "travel-companion-I-carry-it-everywhere". Tim & June (Winchester) To cache, or not to cache. That is the question ! Oh to hell with the work. Quote
