[Resolved] Checker Request for GC9P0D5 (CA Power Trails Challenge)
March 02, 2022 04:55AM
Hi,
I would like a checker for a CA Power Trails challenge.
To qualify, a cacher would need to log at least 500 caches total on CA Power Trails. They can be logged over any period of time - they do not need to be logged as 500 in a day, etc.
I assume that this would be done with a checker similar to C49MM2. If there are any other checkers that can handle Power Trails better, that would be great too.
For the Name Checker, it would need to filter with the 8 or 9 items below: (e.g.)
"# anorT", "CCX4-", "CCC-", "HMD-",
" Highway to H.E.L.L." , "-Route 66", "Sneakers -", "Trona #"
Thanks for your help!!

anort, RidgecrestGeocachers - "# anorT"
Cadiz Cachex4ing, f0t0m0m - "CCX4-"
CCC, Blondilocks - "CCC-"
Heart of the Mojave Desert, f0t0m0m - "HMD-"
Highway to H.E.L.L., H2OKLAN - " Highway to H.E.L.L."
Route 66, Ginny & Stevecat - "-Route 66"
Sneakers, Socal ZukiCachers - "Sneakers -"
Trona, RidgecrestGeocachers - "Trona #"
Yer/Mo, DJAlan - "Yer", "Mo" (must be at the beginning - is this possible, if not, then don't include)
Automobiles, - hard names to uniquely identify
Dreams, vendura_kids - hard names to uniquely identify
Phonetic Alphabet, Socal ZukiCachers - - hard names to uniquely identify
States, not tom - hard names to uniquely identify

The cache name is no longer allowed to be used as challenge criteria, but they have introduced an attribute for power trails. Here's a checker based on that attribute: https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9P0D5/66582

Please confirm it is suitable.

Thanks, I did not realize there was a power trail attribute. Since many power trails do not use this attribute yet, could you change this to any US state, and not limit to California? (not including District of Columbia).

Thanks for your help!!

I've changed it to be any state of USA, not District of Columbia (which currently doesn't have any caches with the power trail attribute)
