Re: GC8E4TW NWA Virtual Border to Border Challenge

Checker request.

Hopefully this is possible.

Challenge requirements:
only Virtual cache finds
Must find at least 1 Virtual in a state that borders Mexico (example Texas)
Must find at least 1 Virtual in a state that borders Canada (example Minnesota)
Also find caches in states in between that connect to each other.
TX, OK, AR, MO, IL, WI, MN.

If this doesn’t work I will try a different challenge idea.

Thanks for your help.

This should be possible, but will probably require some work.

Are NY and RI bordering? There is no land connecting them but technically they share a border in the water around 41.267153, -71.870133. Same question for Minnesota and Michigan at 47.593906, -89.771186.

Please test and reply

Oh, didn't know this exists. Can I look up what blobs I can retrieve via GetJsonData somewhere?

Great checker!
I especially like the map.

Thanks for your help.

It's a json file made by me and stored at PGC

Is there any way to exclude water border states like Ohio and Pennsylvania?
Only include physical Border states??

This is not allowed by the Groundspeak team which has already some difficulty with the challenge.
The other problem is when States are bordering in a point . In that case a State is connected with another State when the border is longer then a mile.

Sounds good.
Thanks again.
