+greengecko Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 (edited) My furthest logged cache is “Inside the Wall” at N 31° 14.431 E 121° 29.154 (WGS84). This cache is located 7224 miles from my home. Edited May 16, 2004 by greengecko Quote
+briansnat Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 (edited) That sure beats me! My furthest is this one, which is 2,482 miles from home. Edited May 16, 2004 by briansnat Quote
TwentySeven Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 My home is 24,899 miles West of my 1st cache. But a mile and a half if you go East. Sorry, Had to do it . Shane Quote
+Runaround Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 (edited) I went ~9700 miles for this cache. I had a FTF on this one ~4200 miles from home. It was just good timing. Just one of the side benefits of international business travel to go along with tons of frequent flier miles although the long flights are miserable, even in business class. EDIT: typo Edited May 16, 2004 by Runaround Quote
+Red Dragon Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I have found two caches in Italy and live near Honolulu. As the crow flies, that calculates to be 8041 miles. It's 11 or 12 time zones depending on the time of year. We do not utilize DST here in Hawaii. Quote
+nfa Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Hi, My furthest cache to date was the cache I found today...43.8 miles away! nfa Quote
+Planet Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I haven't gotten there yet. I'm on the road, as we speak, to FL. Punta Gorda will be the southern most spot I hit. I cached in W. VA, VA, NC, SC, GA on the way and hit one today in FL. I should get the farthest one in a few days. I'll let you know when I get home at the end of the month if I remember to. Quote
+The Blind Acorn Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I don't feel like I've been anywhere after reading these, but the cache that is the farthest from my home was Carrie's Toy Box, and its about 420miles from home. Quote
Reel Rider Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 My farthest cache was on spring break. It was 60 miles from our city... So i dont travel...get off my back Quote
+Freaky Tiki Five Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 About 160 miles from home. That's just a guestimate though. Quote
+Pobre Rico Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 2,341 miles from Portland, Oregon to Ixtapa, Guerrero, México. Quote
+1setter Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 (edited) From central South Dakota 4285 miles to Percy Circus in London. Right now the nearest unfound cache is 75 miles away. I might as well take a long trip to hunt. Edited May 17, 2004 by 1setter Quote
+Corp Of Discovery Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Our furthest is about 975 miles as the crow flies. Quote
+worldtraveler Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 9010 miles for this one and 9009.2 miles for this one. So far, eighty-six (32%) of my finds have been >1000 miles from home. I get really bad cache mileage; right now it's running 991 miles per cache. Quote
+cache_us_if_you_can Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 Our furthest, GOD BLESS AMERICA, is about 340 miles away as the crow flies. Quote
+Latitude 26 Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 This one in Aruba is 1008 miles from home (Pompano, FL)... The Other Lighthouse "Bassmedic" Quote
+tirediron Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 (edited) An American in Manzanillo is the farthest one I can claim. I will have to work out the distance in a bit... 2297 Miles.. not exactly a record-breaker. Oh well... Edited June 9, 2004 by tirediron Quote
+GEO.JOE Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Don't Drink the Water is the furthest for me at 1558.06 miles. That seems close considering it was a 6000 mile round trip. Quote
+Monkeybrad Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Station X in Bletchley Park, England, 4438 miles from Gorilla Freedom Finders Central Command. Quote
team_tar Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 (edited) Furthest TEAM TAR cache is Furthest Southern Cache, in Punt aArenas, Chilean Patagonia. From the Team "Base" in Italy is 13480 Km, or 8377 miles for you americans... Maybe it's kind of cheating, since one of the members of the group spends most part of the year in Chile... from his house there is only 2200 km more or less... but the others had to do all the travel... Acaro of Team TAR Edited June 9, 2004 by team_tar Quote
+Team DaSH Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 I'm feeling a little inadequate after reading some of these, but my furthest find is 454 miles away! Quote
+Team Geo-Joes Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 This is a hop skip and a jump compared to the international ones, but as of yet, my farthest is 204.1 miles. Ft. Irwin to Solvang, SoCal.... Wish I was caching when I was stationed in Korea. 6000 miles.... Quote
+Snoogans Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Sounds of the Bay is pertnear 1,700 miles from my house. It is still one of my favorites. Sn gans Quote
+ZackJones Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Uh, if you would tell me to to figure it out I'd tell you the distance I live in Georgia and have found caches in Bermuda. Zack Quote
+chris-mouse Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Well, that depends on how you count the "far" I've done "Silver Peak" (GCH1MZ) that's 182 miles, or four hours drive and two afternoons of canoe paddling away. I've done "Spud's Software Swap" (GCC6DC) that's 28.6 miles, or about four hour's by public transit. I've done "Five Stops on the Road to Knowhere" (GCE34) that's 16.4 miles to the first stage, and about another 25 miles around all five stages, or about six hours of bicycle riding. The one I haven't logged a find on is "Far From Home" (GCB710), that really isn't very far at all <o_o> Quote
+Joe Smith Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 This cache is the farthest one I've found, but was one of the shortest (from the place I was staying) that I have done. I wonder how it held up in wintertime because I did it in the summer. 3078 miles from home Quote
+Webfoot Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 360 miles from home but I had to drive through two other states to find it. Quote
+Divine Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 8434,71 km from home. That'd be about 5241.328793999999 miles. Quote
+Yellow Jacket Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I found Lupin's Treasure II(GCG2DW) in Japan on 1-11-04. It is 6,859 miles from home. Quote
+joefrog Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I believe one of my NYC caches would be my far-flung one, around 1000 miles from home. Quote
+Stuey Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 The furthest cache I have got is 10,741 miles from home, and it happens to be the cache nearest to my sisters house in Australia. I left a TB there last November, and it has now covered 21,365 miles. It's in Indiana at the moment, on it's way "Back from Down Under" to England. Do I win a prize Quote
+wimseyguy Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 The caches I found in Italy in May are 4683 miles from home. Roman Forum one of the coolest spots for a traditional cache ever. Stairway to Heaven 2 which is justification for keeping virts around. 462 steps up to the most amazing vista in Florence. And no, there is no way a trad. could be put up there. Quote
+Seamus Posted July 14, 2004 Posted July 14, 2004 When I was living in Maryland, I hit a few caches while visiting my folks in Florida, about 750 miles from home. One of those caches is now about 5 miles away from me, as I have since moved to Tallahassee, placing the vast majority of my finds over 700 miles away. with any luck, I will be moving back up to the Maryland area soon, and the caches here in Florida will be little more than a distant footnote in my caching experience.

kayaker22589 Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 The Mystery Spot. Its in north eastern Michigan about 600 miles Quote
+Polgara Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 This one in Aruba is 1008 miles from home (Pompano, FL)... The Other Lighthouse "Bassmedic" Hey I just found that one last month! Great cache, great view! I think that one was 2199 miles from my cache playground. Quote
+cachecows209 Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 This oneis close to 2500 from my central california abode........In The Sands of Waikiki Quote
+Blaidd-Drwg Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) Never gave it a lot of thought, but I have several a long ways from home.

I left a Yellow Jeep Travel Bug, (the first in Wales/the UK?) Edited July 16, 2004 by Metaphor Quote
+briansnat Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Probably Jebs Levee in Sacramento. Don't know the exact mileage, but its probably close to 3,000 away from home. Quote
+Sparky-Watts Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I have only cached out of my home state once, but when I did, I found Carleenp's "Saxman Needs to Visit Nebraska" cache, 231 miles as the crow flies, NNE of me. Quote
+Stuey Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 I left a Yellow Jeep Travel Bug, (the first in Wales/the UK?) I saw one logged last week in London. Can't recall which cache though. Quote
+JohnnyVegas Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 my furthest to date would be in Hawaii, this fall to be followed by the US Virgin Islands and San Martean, and in then Europe maybe in the srping Quote
