Caching has become a part of all my travel destinations, whether for business or vacation, and has allowed me to log caches in many parts of the United States and the world. As of October, 2016, I've cached in 12 countries and 45 states, and have logged many miles between caches along the way. This challenge measures your total distance between all found caches. International travel is NOT required, but it will certainly help.
Here's the challenge: The earth is approximately 24,900 miles in circumference at the equator. Logging enough miles between caches to circle the earth certainly takes some effort, but who could appreciate everything the world has to offer in just one go-around? I think it would require more, maybe 4 loops, to even begin to grasp all that is out there. Therefore, circumnavigating the earth 4 times is 24,900 x 4 = 99,600 miles. For the sake of simplicity, let's round this to 100,000 miles.
In order to qualify, you must have logged 100,000 miles or more in total distance (measured in straight lines) between all found caches, in the order which you logged them. Here is how to verify your total: mygeocachingprofile.com automatically calculates this for you as you build your profile. You may provide a screenshot from your profile to show you qualify.
***Update** Oct 8 2015*** project-gc.com/Profile/ProfileStats also calculates total cache-to-cache distance. I will also accept this as proof of qualification.
Logs without proof of qualification may be deleted without notice. Take note of the hint. Do not attempt to sign this cache unless you can replace the container as found. This cache is placed along the Des Plaines river trail system near Adler Park. Please obey all park and trail rules & hours of operation. I qualify with my current mileage shown below-
