Most Northernly find, and furthest from home


Mr.Yuck

Recommended Posts

Well, we gots the new stats tab, compliments of the bought out MyGeocachingProfile.com website. My Northernmost find, and furthest from home is This cache which had bogus coordinates in Arctic Canada. This cache is in reality, near St. Catharines, Ontario. Only 31 people found this long since archived cache, and I'll bet almost all of them have it as their Northernmost, and furthest from home. How do you suppose I would fix this? Is this an issue for writing to contact@Geocaching.com? And how do I know the other 30 finders even want this to be "fixed"?

 

My issue aside, might as well have a thread. What is your Northernmost find, and furthest from home?

It would seem that all locationless hides should be ignored when compiling statistics that involve locations, such as northernmost, furthest from home, states or countries visited etc... I've only done three of them and one shows up as my northernmost spot (and gave me an unearned souvenir until it mysteriously went away) The two others will probably each give me a state souvenir from a state that I've not cached in. I guess deleting the "found it" log would fix it.

Then the closest find to home is .356 miles away from my door. There is a closer one I believe but its on my watch list since I can't find it.

I run my stats with GSAK - primarily because I can Lock details for certain caches. One, Corps of Discovery, which kept wandering around and placing me logging a cache in Alaska, New York or Missouri. Another has a fictitious placement date, which predates Geocaching by a few decades. I've made the necessary corrections, where I logged Corps of Discovery and actual publication date for the other, locking them so they won't be overwritten by subsequent loads of My Finds.

My cache find was not a locationless, but a traditional in Southern Ontario with bogus coordinates. The N43 was changed to N88. However, someone is watching, and I've had to do nothing. This long since archived cache has been changed to it's real coordinates in Pelham Ontario!

How come nobody is posting a find farther than 12000 miles form their home coordinates? :lol:

 

I am hoping to go to Australia next fall which will give me my first finds in the Southern Hemisphere.

 

I've got three finds in the Southern Hemisphere (in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania) but I'd like to go Australia so that I can have a find on 5 different Continents. Heck, I'd like to go to Australia even if I don't find a cache. I saw that someone else posted their northern most find on a cache in Uppsala, Sweden. There's a conference I'd like to go to in Uppsala in March I think I might have a hard time convincing management to pay for it. I'm still hoping to get to South America in the next year or so. I get close when I go to Costa Rica next month.

After looking at these, either I need to travel further, and/or make caching more of a priority when I do. But I suspect that saying "Sorry Mommy Padler and Little Girl Paddler, you had a nice run, but I need to improve my stats." wouldn't go over too well.

I am hoping to go to Australia next fall which will give me my first finds in the Southern Hemisphere.

 

I'm going to Africa in a month for continent #4 and Asia after that for #5 (doing a few months of travel as a gap year sorta thing). I want to swing by Australia too to visit friends but the current exchange rate isn't helping, but if I can make it work that'll be #6! :)

 

Speaking of hemispheres, I sooo wanna do this cache on the equator while I'm there- http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=GC10MT5 Though it's at N 0.00.029 so guess it's not perfectly in both hemispheres!

Actually, my farthest west cache is a multi-cache with stage one in British Columbia and final stage near where I live in Saskatchewan. Otherwise that would be a cache in Washington or Oregon. I'm hoping to 'fix' this next fall by finding a cache further west than that!

 

My farthest south cache I found without coordinates, hoping that there would be a cache at a roadside turnout... and there was! I took coordinates of the cache after signing the logbook, then looked those up on the website! I love that that one is my furthest south cache!

What's the farthest possible distance 'from home'? If the Earth is approx 24,000 miles in circumference I'd guess at 12,000 miles being the farthest, it's an 'as the crow flies' distance, after all. Anyone got a Farthest From Home over 12,000 miles?

 

This question intrigued me. So I went to an antipod calcualtor. The closest cache to my antipod is Marion Island: Trypot Beach which is 11510 miles from me.
