Once I was skunked on a cache 9 times, on 9 different days. You heard me right, 9 different days. We are not talking 9 different moments separated by no time and space. Nope, not this geocacher, I actually came back on different days and looked in different spaces. When I found it, it was even in a place I had looked before. You may now grovel at my feet.

+Mopar Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Not too bad, for a newbie If you REALLY wanna be impressed, check out Lil Otter's travels. She recently did 6 states in 1 week, but she didn't just get 1 cache per state, she grabbed almost 100 of them! Tae-Kwon-Leap is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.

+MaxEntropy Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Oh that's easy for you folks in those little tiny counties that you call states back East. Try that starting in the San Francisco area where we have to travel 3.5 hours to get to the next state. quote:Originally posted by cwoper:Thats right,5 States,5 Cache sites all in 1 day!!!

Jeremy Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 Hmm.. Is it possible to fly fast enough to find a cache in one country and then find a cache in another country the day before? I'd like to see that feat. Congrats on your personal record It's pretty true that you can easily hit several states in one day on the east coast, but it's still impressive.

+mdawg & muffin Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 We took a weekend trip to Nasville, TN on June 1st and 2nd of 2002 and found 35 in the two days we were there. They weren`t all right together but scattered all across town. Some were hikes and some were drive-bys. Haven`t tried multiple states yet, but its a thought and I think you did pretty good.

+fairplay Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 We went out to find 6 Caches .... AND DID FIND NOTHING !!! The reason is that we stopped at the first place we arrived, weather was fine, sun shining, nobody around to annoy us. We didn't continue our quest and stayed the whole week-end at a lake and had a GREAT TIME ! Geocaching is so fun hello Quote Link to comment
Tahosa and Sons Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 As some other Cachers from out West have said, try it out here. When we say a Cache is a 4*4, were not talking about a vehicle. What would help your explanation would be the average of the difficulties involved. That would show your real brains and effort. Tahosa - Dweller of the Mountain Tops. Quote Link to comment
+Geo-Johnson's Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Ok........in defense of cwoper, I hadn't realized that OH, IN, KT, IL, MO were on the east coast......but maybe it's just my map. I think it's pretty cool what he did! I feel no need to drag him down........because I havn't done it. YOU are DA MAN!!!

+The Cheeseheads Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 So the bar has been set at five. I'm sure someone's going to try to top it. I'm taking a trip out east this summer, so maybe I'll have to go for a WI-IL-IN-MI-OH-PA-NJ run on the way out... - - - - - Wisconsin Geocaching Association Quote Link to comment
Aladin Sane Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 My record is four caches in four states in one day. Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. On another note, I did get a first to find on the same day in both Iowa and Michigan. This was not during the four state run either. For the far westerners throwing rocks at this accomplishment, these are not New England states. I would estimate that it would take a minimum of five to six hours to drive from Ohio to Missouri straight through. Aladin Sane Quote Link to comment
+TEAM 360 Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 You could go to the Four Corners area in N.E. Arizona here and if the caches were close enough, do a cache in each of the 4 states in less than an hour...I am flying to Russia this summer, so I will see about doing a cache on my last day there, then zipping back to L.A. and hitting one on the same day...talk about the long-distance record...

+Jennifer&Dean Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 Congrats Cowper! That took a little planning I am sure. Last Labor Day weekend we hit SD, WY and CO in one day! It was a blast. We are currently planning our drive from MT to NM, and choosing the caches worth hitting onthat drive! -Jennifer Where am I going? I ain't certain. When will I get there? I don't know. All as I know is I am on my way! Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted March 19, 2003 Share Posted March 19, 2003 That's is a feat just for the planning. Let's raise the bar a little now. Who can do a multistate find where the states' initials spell out a word??? These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes; Nothing remains quite the same. Through all of the islands and all of the highlands, If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Quote Link to comment
+catcher24 Posted March 20, 2003 Share Posted March 20, 2003 CWoper - Nice going! I think you did great, and I NEVER knock anyone for an accomplishment I have never done. Let's see .... a multi-state expedition, and the states spell a word. Well, you can make derogatory remarks about the size of the New England states, but I would imagine you could find a cache in Maine,New Hampshire,Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and probably New York and Pennsylvania in one day; that gives us M,N,H,V,M,R,I,C at least - but only one vowel? Rich, rim, him. Who will do it first? Catcher24 "You see, you spend a good deal of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time."

+ChinCache Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 That's okay, but in january I hosted a geoevent that went from sunrise to sunset with 3 caches inbetween. when you figure it out e-mail me with the answer. chincache Quote Link to comment

+worldtraveler Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 You would have to travel west to east across the international dateline. It would be possible to find GC7591 in Fiji and then fly to Western Samoa to find GC7E06 on the previous calendar day. Air Pacific's route map shows service between NAN and APW, but I was unable to find specific flight information. Worldtraveler Quote Link to comment

First visit GCB7E0 or one of many other nearby caches in Auckland, NZ, and then hop on flight PH746 (Thursdays only) to Apia, Western Samoa. It departs at 6:45 AM and arrives at 11:45 AM on the previous calendar day. That will give you plenty of time to find GC7E06. Worldtraveler Quote Link to comment
