What is the furthest one of your own TBs or GCs has moved?

I have a handful of TBs I have released into the wild. Not very many of them have moved very far. The furthest is 6100 miles.

I had one TB named SPLAT! that didn't have a very long life, but got 18,509 miles yet never left AZ & NM, except for one hop to Singapore & back (obviously the bulk of the miles). I really had high hopes for this TB; wanted it to last, but that is always the danger of putting something out there that has personal significance. No regrets! It would still just be sitting in my dresser drawer otherwise.

Have only released 1 TB into the wild Marry Me. It was released on our honeymoon and managed to travel 14,832.9 miles before going MIA.

Geocoins Through the Ages - Napoleon Geocoin traveled 12,705 miles.

Haughton Hunters placed this coin in a cache and I found it next. It's Napoleon so I activated it and asked for it to go to France. I never forget this story, but some guy in Colorado picked it up and said he was taking it to Europe. I was all pumped. A little later he logged it in and out of cache in Germany and brought it all the way back to Colorado because he couldn't find a cache big enough for it. I wanted to e-mail him and say "Dude just drop it on the ground or something!" In Europe, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if someone found it, logged it and continued it's journey with the way Europeans take care of GC's and TB's. It then dissappeared in South Carolina.

Here are my top three:

This geocoin has logged 15523 miles. I released it when I was in Hawaii last fall and it has gone: Hawaii > Alaska > Hawaii > Illinois > Italy > Greece.

I arranged to have this geocoin released in Australia. It was almost a non-starter, as it went missing from the first cache it was placed in and didn't resurface for 6 months. Then it made some smaller moves for a while until a very kind cacher took it on a huge jump of 10822 miles from Tasmania to London, and then kept it moving with them on their vacation through Spain, Portugal, and then dropped it in Croatia. Now back in Portugal with a total of 15081 miles.

This Signal geocoin has racked up 9166 domestic miles, many again due to a kind cacher who moved it with them last year from Ohio to Seattle (to visit the Lilypad) to California (for Geowoodstock). It has since made a side trip to Florida before returning back west to Nevada.

Winnie the Pooh TB218E7 had a slow start as someone grabbed and held him. Once he got going, he has travelled 11541 miles, and did get to England. :D

Ryoko Mushi TB217W7 travelled to Japan, and has been bouncing around there for 7931.8mi :)

Jacqueline which I placed with my daughter has travelled 11183.4 miles, but still hasn't made it to France. 8-)

Flower Sprite TB2AZYT, another joint TB with my daughter, did make it to the Black Forest 8802.5 miles. :D

The rest of my TB have gone only a couple thousand miles at most. A frustrating few have gone nowhere, having been kidnapped by unscruptulous geocachers or muggles from their original cache placements. :x For this reason, I now only place new TB in my own caches, so I can better determine who took them. I wish we could restrict cachers from taking TB until they have demonstrated a firm commitment to the sport, since many of my missing ones were taken by novices who logged onto the website once or twice then dropped off the map (and apparently changed their contact email address). :evil:

Sorry, just ventilating my pet trackable peeve. :tant01:
