Re: Checker for GCAC8TG (Three States Same County Name ChaIIenge)

I don't know if I can convince any of the volunteers to spend time on this one, but I am asking anyway. This is a challenge that is not allowed by geocaching.com, so it is not an actual challenge cache. But I would still like to create a checker, so that people can see if they have completed the challenge.

NOT the Three States Same County Name ChaIIenge
Traditional Geocache
https://coord.info/GCAC8TG

The challenge is to find caches in three different states that are all counties with the same name.

For example:

On 7/22/2012 I found GC1XPDA in Washington County, Pennsylvania
On 6/28/2013 I found GCZ5Z2 in Washington County, Utah
On 11/30/2013 I found GC27N0W in Washington County, Minnesota
On 5/25/2014 I found GC30TTZ in Washington County, Oregon
On 3/12/2016 I found GC5E9N7 in Washington County, Texas
On 5/4/2016 I found GC1FEYQ in Washington County, Arkansas
On 7/17/2017 I found GC6D0A3 in Washington County, New York
On 7/27/2018 I found GC1VCZC in Washington County, Iowa
On 8/23/2018 I found GC2H73B In Washington County, Rhode Island
On 5/1/2022 I found GC2H9KN in Washington County, Maryland
On 6/13/2023 I found GC406BK in Washington County, Illinois

I know this is not allowed as a challenge, but I want to create a checker that I can add to my "NOT a chaIIenge" page. I fully expect it to be a LOW priority, but I am eternally optimistic.

Thank you.

I've created a checker for you but per the guidelines you are not allowed to add it to the cache page. You can mention on the cache page that you have a link in your profile and add the link to your profile page or you can post it as a note on the cache page.

If you add the checker to the cache page I will remove the checker.

The link for the checker is: https://project-gc.com/Challenges//81532

The guidelines applying to optional challenges that Pleu mentions is here: https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=127&pgid=951

Good to know. Posting it as a note is sufficient for my purposes.
Thank you.
