ju66l3r Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Can anyone point me to a multi-stage cache that has the most distance from the first location to the final cache? I have come up with a real devil of an idea....I want to see how novel it is. Quote
+Marky Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 There's a couple of multis we did that ended up being 45+ miles from initial waypoint to final. Quote
+mtn-man Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 We have one here in GA that requires around a 100 mile drive. I have not done it yet but I know the cacher very well and that was an estimate from him. Quote
ju66l3r Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 If anybody knows of any larger than the 100 mi one, can you also include a link or its name that I can search under? mtn...do you have a link for that one? Quote
+wadel Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) Here is one that requires several hundred miles of driving (3 states) and 4 healthy hikes: Tri-State Multi-Cache It is actually 4 seperate caches. In order to get the final one, you must find the other 3 first so the final is the multi. Edited December 18, 2003 by wadel Quote
geocacher1 Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Try this one...No More Mr. Nice Guy (GC7A0D). It stretches for atleast a few hundred KMs, and also has 1 hike thta is 10km round trip and another where you need a boat/ferry to get to Quote
+Marky Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 We also have the Northern California Solar System Model series of caches, which require about a 500+ mile drive to nab them all. It's not a multi cache though, but a series of caches. Personally, I would try to make them into a series rather than a single multi cache if long distances are involved. --Marky Quote
Moun10Bike Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 The longest multi that I've done is niskibum's The Odyssey. It is almost 100 miles long and takes you on a loop of scenic areas in the Idaho Panhandle. It's an excellent cache (as are all of niskibum's caches), although I know it is a bit much for a lot of people. We hit a bunch of other caches along the way and ended up driving over 350 miles that day. Quote
+donbadabon Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 Personally, I would try to make them into a series rather than a single multi cache if long distances are involved. Good point. Travelling several hundred miles to claim one find is discouraging. But if you made each of the series an actual cache, and each of them held a different part of the coords for the final cache, then people could claim the individuals as they went, but would have to get all of them in order to claim the final.

+Laserman Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) The Are you the one? series. Has 10 caches, each with a clue to the final and there is even a bonus cache. I do not know the total distance, maybe someone who actually completed the whole thing will speak up. Edited December 18, 2003 by Laserman Quote
+briansnat Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) This one involved a 400 mile drive according to the logs. Its now archived. And this one involves a drive of 500+ miles according to one log. The latter is listed as an event cache, but its still active so I'm sure it could still be logged. Both took most people multiple days to log. Edited December 18, 2003 by briansnat Quote
+CO Admin Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 I am working on one that would start in NJ, Second Stage in GA, Third Stage in CO and a final in PA. It will need a local cacher in each area to watch over each stage. IF I can make this fly it will be a true multi stage cache not 3 cache that lead you to a fourth. 1 cache, a few thousand miles to complete. I figure it will not get a lot of finds. But I'm betting ClayJar logs it as an FTF just because of the way he drives Figure to see this in the late spring Quote
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted December 18, 2003 Posted December 18, 2003 If anybody knows of any larger than the 100 mi one, can you also include a link or its name that I can search under? mtn...do you have a link for that one? Here is one of our caches Dial Out SG1 that requires at least 250 miles of driving from start to finish. It definitely requires a 4x4 for some legs. No one has claimed FTF yet. ~Shirley~ of 2oldfarts Quote

I am also considering one that requires a trip to NE Spain to complete.... I would not be expecting many completions...but I also considered allowing tag-team activity on it (similar to other country2country connection caches). My last idea was to do an I-95 cache where everything is a rest stop along I-95 from Maine to Florida... Just some ideas...anyone can implement them if they want... Quote
Bender Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 My multi, Bender's RR will take you approximately 21.000 miles between legs if you go east instead of west. Bender Quote
+shawhh Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 try the MOTHER OF ALL CACHES series in s.c. 3 multi's, each one carrying you across the state from n.c. to ga. each gives 1/3 of the info to find a 4th cache. they are very well done and require quite a bit more than the average. -harry Quote
+pater47 Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 Well, up until yesterday I had a multi that required about 125 miles all total, but when I got home I fixed the typo, which brought it back down to the intended 3 miles. Quote

+Divine Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 (edited) Well, it's not necessarily a multi in the purest sense of the word, but the European International MultiCache #1 (IMC) is spread in 15 different European countries. To find the so called secondary cache, you have to a ) find all the primary caches or b ) cooperate with the finders of primary caches other IMC countries. Edit: the stupid b ) thing which turned out to be a smiley Edited December 19, 2003 by Divine Quote
ju66l3r Posted December 19, 2003 Author Posted December 19, 2003 Cool, Divine...this is the sorta long distance thing I was thinking of... Quote
+wray_clan Posted December 20, 2003 Posted December 20, 2003 (edited) This is pretty spread out. Whoops. Already posted. Edited December 20, 2003 by wray_clan Quote
