I now have a newest highest mileage TB. It is Cousin Cecily's Necklace (TB19ECV) and it now has traveled 12,817.7 miles. The crazy thing is that it has done it in less than one month!
I am an amazed cacher!

Although not high mileage exactly, but a few of the Nascar-related TBs we released with our Challenge Cache have had good luck.
Here's the latest:

Was shocked to see our travelbug Punch Drunk in Puerto Rico recently passed 20k miles. Most of that was in a single roundtrip though.

We've learned from Cap'n Morgan, it's always about the rum.

Updated on Patty Platypus it has 13,000+ miles but amazing thing it's 8 years old. My sisters took it to England on a sister's trip and now it's in Illinois. Here's a picture of it with an English Bobbi and according to a log the light still works.

today i read on Latitude 47 aboui A Baldwin Attraction (Otago) -GCRZ51...
the GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK- prompting me to recheck my trackables.
WOOHOO - a co-incidence...

our MOUNT VERNON SUCHAHORSE travel bug just got picked up nearby this past week
(you know like on top of the mount at an overlook) at Dunedin, Otago –New Zealand -
GC2T5DJ - Calling The Kettle Black.
It has moved rapidly these past 16 months, accumulating 10,600 miles with other geocachers’ travels…
As for that street cache at Baldwin, naw – methinks I’d need a rope and pulley…
