+Cincinnati Bearcaches Posted August 9, 2003 Share Posted August 9, 2003 Completed This cache today. 64 miles on bike for this multi cache. Can anyone beat that? I'm sure many will. Being in Ohio there arent many opportunities for challenging caches like this. Since we dont have mountains, canyons, or other similarly difficult terrain. Quote Link to comment
+honeychile Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hawk 12 was about 100 miles, but it was not anticipated that anyone would bike or walk between stages. It's been archived since spring, but hope Hawk-Eye will be able to re-enable it soon. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 NJ Statewide Cache involved over 400 miles of driving. Not sure if that's the record, but it certainly is up there!

+DapperDanMan Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 There is a cache located about 1 mile east from where I am. I Plan on heading west though around the entire world until I reach it. Quote Link to comment
Micqn Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I went from my home in Herriman, UT to the Har, Har I am a Comedian and the Greenwich Gold One caches in Connecticut. A good 2000 odd miles as the crow flies -- What a trip!! Don't Drink And Park: Accidents Cause People. [This message was edited by Micqn on August 11, 2003 at 09:27 AM.] Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Just got done with 1091 miles in two days to go to the Albuquerque Cache Hunt and hit some local caches there. Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 The only drive I recall was 40 miles one way on dirt roads. Asphalt driving...does that even count? Quote Link to comment
+Cincinnati Bearcaches Posted August 11, 2003 Author Share Posted August 11, 2003 was thinking more on the lines of hiking biking, canoeing. But 1000 miles driving in 2 days of cacheing can be tiring as well.. Quote Link to comment
+SKYCOP Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 As of today I'm on 2 weeks vacation....yeeehaaa. We're heading to Colorado Springs tomorrow to see my brother and plan to geocache through Nebreska along the interstate. We'll also do some geocaching around the Springs area and a little West of there. Are there any caches near there that are a MUST DO? Have a great day.

+Mark 42 Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I will have to speak to some of my old contacts on the International Space Station to see if I can get in touch with one of the astronauts. It won't be a vacation cache if he places it himself, though he won't be able to check it very often. Hey skycop... if you have a fulsize of your avatar picture, please email me a copy, okay? I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people. Quote Link to comment
+jollybgood Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 I drove 900 miles to log a cache in Vermont. Not sure it counts since I was on a business trip and was driving that direction anyway. But I did route my entire journey with an eye on logging the cache. When I left my front door I turned on my GPSV and had it route me to the cache and used the GPSr to guide me on the entire trip there and back. Jolly R.

But 1000 miles driving in 2 days of cacheing can be tiring as well.. I've gone on many recent caches that were about 4 mile roundtriup hikes (if that's what you are looking for). I'm luckey becuase I'm very close to Big Basin State Park and Henry Cowell Park (home of the giant redwoods) and there are some great hikes/caches here. The most recent was about a 1.5 mile hike in with an elevation gain of about 1,000 feet. Water was my precious....love the precious.....the heat, it burns us! Quote Link to comment
+Kite and Hawkeye Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 You're not expected to hike or bike this one, but we put 200 miles on the car in one day for Off to Find a Wizard: the SD Potluck Memorial. Worth it, at the end, to find the biggest ammo box ever . Quote Link to comment
+The Adams Family Circus Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Such kind words, Kite. The 'Off to Find a Wizard' cache is back in circulation, having been trashed in June. Earl, Ringmaster, The Adams Family Circus Quote Link to comment
+TimInOhio and Brittany Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I drove from Warren, OH to Killington, VT for the 2002 GPS Gold Rush - 1100 miles round trip! Luckily, I was able to claim a nice pair of Bolle sunglasses and some DeLorme Street Atlas software. Sure wish they'd have the Gold Rush again! Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 My longest cycling cache was 36 miles for the second half of a local multi. At the time it was my longest one-day ride. Later, I did a 60+ mile circuit to find four caches. It was over 100 degrees that day. Jamie Quote Link to comment
+Jamie Z Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Geez, I forgot my most-favorite caching ride. A local cacher challenged me to find a certain cache on my bike. The cache was located on a long single-track around a lake, so I arranged with a friend to borrow a mountain bike. I rode the 25 miles to the park, met my friend and we rode ~6 trail miles to the cache, and then I rode home. I about collapsed from the heat (literally) on the way home, but I felt great once the deed was done. Jamie Quote Link to comment
