Welcome to the 100 Acre Wood

The cache IS at the posted coordinates. 

You can sign the log anytime, but to claim a find, you need to complete the following challenge:

Welcome to the 100 Acre Wood, a forest of challenges that will let you flex your stats AND stretch your legs.  Glen Alpine Valley is home to some amazing twisted and time-worn Juniper trees.  They thrive in challenging terrain under challenging conditions, so it seems only fitting that they also host some challenging caches!  In creating this course, I wanted to share a place I love and provide a source of inspiration and motivation... I like to have goals that require effort but that are clearly achievable, goals I know I can constantly build toward and complete. I have hiked to all of these trees in the summer and visited them all by snowshoe in the winter.  These caches are all off-trail in moderate to difficult terrain... but there are plenty of rocks, ridges, terraces, and traverses that make them all accessible if you pick the right approach.  However and whenever you plan to go, plan ahead and be prepared. And if you've got 100 aches at the end of the day...  you're only feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Challenge Qualifications: 100,000 Miles Traveled from Cache to Cache!

This challenge is for the roadtrippers, globetrotters, and travel-minded cachers and requires a cumulative Total cache-to-cache distance of at least 100,000 miles (that's 160,934.4 kilometers for the metrically-minded) to official claim a find. You could grind this out or just find the occasional few very far away to qualify.  I love using geocaching as my travel guide, both bounding around the US and when I head out to explore internationally. At time of publishing, my total recorded cache-to-cache distance was: 429,336 miles!  That's 690,947.654 kilometers, 17.24 times around the globe, and 1.797 times the distance to the moon (I've almost made it to the Moon and Back)!  How far have you traveled geocaching?  How far over the requirement are you, or how much farther do you have to go?  

You can verify your totals with the checker below!  

Share your mileage (or kilometerage) in your log... and feel free to include your favorite far away caching experience!
