I need a checker for GC7A0GZ N40 Challenge

The challenge is to find each of the 5 confluence caches in Utah along the N40 latitude (ie N40, W110; N40, W111; N40,W112; N40, W113;, and N40, W114). It is the only latitude in Utah that has a cache placed at each confluence.

I have completed this challenge. At confluence N40, W112 besides the cache with that name, there is also a challenge cache (totally unrelated) with the exact same coordinates. Hope that doesn't muddy the waters.

Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry but checkers based on latitude/longitude are not acceptable under the current guidelines

Please read 2.9. Challenge caches

10. Source of Criteria
Acceptable
Challenge cache criteria may be based upon these geographic areas: countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent).
Not Acceptable
Challenges based on geographic areas other than countries, states/provinces, counties (or their local equivalent). For example, user-defined mapping polygons, latitude/longitude, radius, etc. (updated Aug 2016)

I have sent a request to GC.com to review this. There is a lot of interest among cachers to find confluence caches. It is always fun to see XX 00.000, YYY 00.000 on your GPS. I believe a challenge that makes ordinary caches into target caches for a large number of cachers should be allowed as challenges. I am awaiting a reply from GC.com.

Received a response from GC headquarters. They said they would not grant an exception. So this challenge is dead. You can close out this thread. Thanks.
