Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The cache is at the posted coordinates. Please read the description for logging requirements. Hide difficulty is rated 1.5 and terrain 1.5.
Cache is located in a commercial setting with easy interstate access.
To log a “Found it” for this cache in addition to finding the cache and signing the logbook you must have:
Found caches with a total distance from your home coordinates of at least one million miles.
Demonstrate this logging requirement any way you see fit but you must provide reasonable documentation that you meet the requirement. Here are examples of four ways this could be done.
- For the Tech savy; Use GSAK and center on your Home coords and export your database to .csv. Load this file into a spreadsheet and Sum the Miles column.
- Use the FindStasGen macro for GSAK and calculate “Distance from Home” which will display an “Average Distance”. Multiply this number by your total finds.
- Use Statistics on your Geocaching.com profile and calculate a total “Distance to Finds”. You’re going to have to use the lower number in the range here and will lose a lot of miles.
- If you try to calculate this next way please let someone close to you know so they can put the suicide prevention hotline on speed-dial. Geocaching.com calculates the distance for a cache from your home coords. Go through all of your finds and record this number then sum the total. Take a picture of the tear soaked paper you wrote this down on, or the bullet riddled monitor with the spreadsheet these numbers were entered in to.
There's a large world filled with caches out there. Grab a few extra while on vacation or plan a few road trips and perhaps you'll discover A Million Miles from Home is not as far as it seems.
