Hello, I would like to put out a challenge for the high points of each state in the US. I would like the requirement to be a cache found with .25 of the actual high point of each state. Is there a challenge already published that requests something like this? If not, is it possible to create one? the gps of each state's high point is easily accessible. /forum/read.php?11,52268,52268#msg-52268 Tue, 14 Jul 2026 10:38:00 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52778#msg-52778 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52778#msg-52778 sloth96 ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Mon, 28 Jun 2021 23:25:02 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52768#msg-52768 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52768#msg-52768 it should be good now]]> 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Mon, 28 Jun 2021 18:06:23 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52751#msg-52751 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52751#msg-52751
The checker was disabled again because of the attributes. The one that looks like a person climbing stairs needs to be enabled on the cache.

Would I have to update the original checker on the cache page? Or has that been done from your end?]]> 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Thu, 24 Jun 2021 18:28:34 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52667#msg-52667 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52667#msg-52667
4 looks like there are 17 possible finders in your home state.]]> sloth96 ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Wed, 23 Jun 2021 23:41:04 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52649#msg-52649 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52649#msg-52649 Per our reviewer, our requirements are too difficult for most cachers. Could you re do the geochecker to match these new requirements?
I've now changed the actual requirement to finding 4 of the state high points. I've also changed the name of the cache to highest in 4 states challenge.
Here is the description :
Geocache Description:

This cache is located at the listed coordinates.The rating is for the challenge, not the actual cache container.



We started looking for the highest point in regions before we began geocaching. Our first one was Florida. We were driving along and there was a sign saying Florida high point. Well, if you see a sign like this , it seems, you should go check it out. It turns out that Florida is the lowest high point in the US. Since our first highest in a state we have traveled to over 20 others. Most recently, we traveled to the southeast and claimed 4 more. When folks ask what are some of our favorite caches we've found, many of these high points come to mind. In Louisiana we met up with a rattle snake who did not want to share the trail. Illinois high of the region is the nearest to this cache. Mount Washington was also in the top 10 of all of the caches we've found. There are caches at many of the state high points.]]> 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Tue, 22 Jun 2021 19:08:40 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52461#msg-52461 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52461#msg-52461 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Tue, 15 Jun 2021 20:36:14 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52460#msg-52460 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52460#msg-52460

To get the checker on the listing you can use this procedure (but only when the checker is enabled)
1. Open the link as provided
2. Click on in the "link" button on the right
3. Copy the code for the third option and paste it into your cache description
(You might need to first click on the green button above the description to put it in the right mode.)
4. Save & preview and submit for publication once you're happy with it.

If you don't see the usual challenge check icon you might need to click the Source button above the cache description box before you paste the code.]]> vogelbird ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Tue, 15 Jun 2021 20:08:45 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52458#msg-52458 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52458#msg-52458 I also tried to add to my cache page to check it.

Here is a link for US states. I think that is what you wanted from the thread start but not clear from the latest description. The caches shown on the map are the highest that are checked against. Please double check them.

I looked a few near me and they seemed right but a more critical look would be appreciated.]]> sloth96 ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Tue, 15 Jun 2021 19:39:06 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52454#msg-52454 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52454#msg-52454 sloth96 ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Tue, 15 Jun 2021 19:35:50 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52421#msg-52421 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52421#msg-52421

The challenge requiements to claim a smiley here is to find 10 different region highest.



The D/T is rated for the challenge, not the actual cache hidden here.]]> 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Mon, 14 Jun 2021 16:30:28 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52350#msg-52350 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52350#msg-52350 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sat, 12 Jun 2021 13:42:21 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52349#msg-52349 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52349#msg-52349 2oldsobos ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed) Sat, 12 Jun 2021 13:39:55 +0000 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52346#msg-52346 /forum/read.php?11,52268,52346#msg-52346
