Geocache Description:


This is a challenge cache...you may sign the log prior to qualification and log a smiley when you complete the challenge.

I've got some good news or some bad news for you. To meet the requirements for this challenge you will need to do some traveling.....who doesn't like traveling? 

What is the distance between your most eastern, southern, western and northern cache found? You can log this challenge cache if these four distances total a minimum of 25,000 kilometers

The geocaching statistics of your profile indicate which caches are Find Farthest North, Find Farthest East, Find Farthest South and Find Farthest West. Determine the distances between:

  • your most northerly and most easterly found cache
  • your most easterly and most southern cache found
  • your southernmost and most westerly found cache
  • your most westerly and most northerly found cache
    and add these four distances together.
    If this total distance is more than 25,000 km, you have met the challenge. Now no need to do the computation yourself when there is a handy checker to tell you if you meet the challenge. My total is 42,546 km so therefore I would qualify.
