I'm looking for a checker that will look for one geocache the user has found that was at least five years (1825 days) lonely at the time they found it. Many thanks!

Unfortunately, this Challenge is not publishable.

Challenge Cache Guidelines
NOT ACCEPTABLE: Competition rather than achievement. Examples: challenges based on "First to Finds" or lonely caches are competitions.

I completely disagree with the notion that finding a lonely cache is a competition, as it always feels like an achievement to me, but I can't change the guidelines. Thanks for getting back to me.

It's a competition because other players can hinder your progress. If two people are both going for a lonely cache, only one (the one who gets there first) can claim to have found a lonely cache.
