[Resolved] GC222BN - Alberta Provincial Parks Part One of Triple Crown

GC222BN - Alberta Provincial Parks Part One of Triple Crown
Checker Request

I require a checker for the 2009 grandfathered challenge cache.
This cache is Part One of the Alberta Triple Crown. Part two is the Municipal Districts Of Alberta (GC23E9E), and Part three is archived cache (GC23J8M) which I am trying to resurrect with GC8GMCY (soon as I get a checker).

The challenge is to find a least 1 cache (any type) in at least 60 Alberta Provincial Parks. There are 77 Provincial Parks in Alberta of which 65 currently have caches. To date, four cachers have qualified with at least another ten working on the challenge. I was number four to qualify and adopted the cache November 18, 2019.


Below is the list of Provincial Parks with their associated polygons.

There is one exception in the 77 polygons. The last polygon for Sylvan Lake Provincial Park can only be counted if the cache was found before January 17, 2018, as the Park lost its Provincial Park status on that date.

Thanks in advance

P.S. Cache Alberta!

I have gsak polygons built for all 77 parks and are available for the checker. Below are a few examples:

Although we can make a polygon checker this is not allowed under the new guidelines

This cache is a grandfathered cache (hidden in 2009) and I have all the polygons. Does this make any difference??

Thanks in advance....

The problem is the new cache you are trying to create as mentioned in GC8GMCY - Alberta Map Sheets Part Three of Triple Crown

If we drop the GC8GMCY, can we create a checker for the grandfathered cache?

Will contact you by email today

Formatted Polygons emailed....

Thanks in advance...

I did not receive the mail, please try again

The email has arrived

I have sent the parks as single polygons. Let me know if you need something else....

Cheers
SC

The data received by email and I will try to upload the json file next week but the holidays might give a bit of delay

Sounds good.

Merry Christmas

Cypress Hills Corrected Code sent

The json file sent to PGC and waiting to be uploaded into the development area and checking the polygons for spikes

Thanks vogelbird!
Very much appreciated!

Assuming all is well, how long doesn’t take to be published?

Merry Christmas

Safari Cachers

That depends if there is a possibity to upload over the holidays

The json is released and the checker issued at https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC222BN/47892

Please test

Checker is great... I have checked it on 3 known cases and numbers are bang on.....
Could we reset the counter and then I will add to the cache page.

Thanks for all your help!!

Happy New Year!

P.S.

Sure we can’t do the MapSheets....it is already to go? Had to try one last time......

Sorry, I can not reset the counter.

If in your PS referring to a new challenge than I have to say that your reviewer will not accept such a challenge

Forgot to place this challenge on the exceptions list so the checker is offline untill it is accepted as a challenge be the group of moderators

ETA on this as it is already being used on the cache page....
