Dru Morgan Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 My nuts have made it around the world again and have racked up (no pun intended) 22336 miles. Is this close to the record? Anyone know what the most travelled bug is? Quote Link to comment
+cache_test_dummies Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Well, there's the Nekked Klucker Family which has logged about 35K miles, but I suspect fowl play! Quote Link to comment

R+L Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Our little plane 'Bubbles' the TB is doing pretty well, clocked up 34049 miles all on his own http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1472446 We've got a way to go till he catches up with those army of mystery guys though!!

+VerrueckteFrau Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 My son's travelbug "Percy" went on an awesome adventure, during the GONIL 2008 travel bug race (which ends next week). The rules of the race made sure that none of our family members put any mileage on this little bug, so he was truly a free-range travelbug! In less than 1 year this little train visited 5 continents, racked up 58844 miles and made it back home into my son's hands!!! How cool is that?! http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.as...32-bbca98db5981 A big thank you to all the cachers who helped Percy accomplish this astounding journey! Quote Link to comment

It was multiple items using one number. You can't do that. Quote Link to comment
chiba_girl Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) I've got my own TB that has ~37K and it's all legit. She's 6 years old and Her name is Miss Patty Bouvier (Marge Simpson's Sister). The other "suspicious" one is of military origin and those guys travel back & forth quite a bit so if they kept handing it off when people were homebound, it could have made those miles. I had no idea I might be in the top five.....WooHoo! It happens when you travel alot, she didn't even go to the Artic or Antarctic with me....others have!

+jezza1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Just dropped off TB Mini Madness which has reached 38675 miles after 5 years on the road! Quote Link to comment
+Harry Dolphin Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 My Wannabe Bird has travelled 45409 miles. Just over five years. Someone had fun taking it from Seattle to Vienna to Florida to South Africa, and then to Germany! It had escaped Pennsylvania making it to Liechtenstein, only to be brought back to Pennsylvania. Oh, well. Quote Link to comment
+clrtolnd Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 My personal TB has just over 750,000 miles. I dip it in most of the caches that I find. These are legitimate miles. Check it out (TB20ZDE) Quote Link to comment

navyrider2 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 hi my travel bug Poseidon made it 36,347 miles but now he is missing in action......really kind of sad about it....He was last logged at a cache in Arkansas. Navyrider2 Quote Link to comment
Andronicus Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 How about the lest miles. Mine had 16km and appears to be AWOL. I am doing some investigation, and I am now suspecting that it never made it passed the first finder (which would make it 0km). Quote Link to comment
+treypal Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 My chewed up Garmin Foretrex has 26,000 Miles and has been out for 5 years this september. I cant wait for it to come back to the US, I'd love to see it again. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?tracker=TB15152 Quote Link to comment
+EdrickV Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 While it doesn't have the mileage logged, and hasn't moved from it's starting cache, I think this TB would probably hold the record for distance traveled. (And possibly travel speed too.) http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1654604 Quote Link to comment
+horn38 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I've got 116,376 miles on a Compass Rose that travels with me! Quote Link to comment

+SaurerFamily Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My TB (TB3337V) has 22,631 miles after only 35 caches. Then again, two trips with my GPS from Okinawa to the states helps. If only I had had it with me for the other two trips... My TB is on my key ring except when I travel, then I just clip it to my pack. My son released a TB in April that has 8,676 (TB3336H) since April. His has gone from Okinawa to the Philippines, to Switzerland, to Germany, back to Switzerland, then to France, now in Scotland.

+Paintballvet18 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 YOU ALL LOSE! The world record is held by clrtolnd's personal TB that (at the point of recording this reply) has racked up 2 MILLION miles. Yes, he is a pilot, but he still wins. http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=1465169&utm_source=blog.geocaching.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_term=english&utm_content=stevesgeobackpack&utm_campaign=thetravelbug BUT!! We have competition. If you want to be technical, there is a Grand Champion that has racked up over 350 MILLION miles and is still traveling: The International Space Station TB... Owned by LordBritish. http://blog.geocaching.com/2011/02/travel-bug-with-311-million-miles-might-return-to-earth/ Well, there you go. FYI: You don't even come close... Even my personal TB has over 100,000 miles and almost quintuples you totals right now... But, good luck in the future for the mileage!! Quote Link to comment
Mr.Burns Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Dipping a TB into caches as you travel should not count as hard earned miles as those TB's that actually change hands everytime it moves..... Quote Link to comment
