I know we’ve walked 7-10 miles for a single smiley a few times. And then there’s the time we tried the first time to get a tough one near Faribault MN, whiffed on it, then started walking along the Sakatah Lake trail, finding one cache after the other, ending up at the state park, getting the coordinates there for the challenge cache and a couple others, then heading back to where we’d parked. The trail markers showed we’d walked almost ten miles out…and of course back again. Nuts!
We like to walk, hike, bike and paddle. What can I say? It would be interesting to see how much ground we cover on some of the days where we think we aren’t walking all that much, because like someone said, all those short hikes add up over a day’s time. It’s always great to walk or bike more and limit the trips in and out of the car when we can.
