[Resolved] Get to Know Your Traveling Cacher Challenge

This challenge cache requires you to do a little traveling to find thirty caches. There are several challenges out there where you have to find three caches by the same owner that have to be three different icons. This challenge puts a new spin on it. For this challenge, icons do not matter. You can find three traditional caches all by the same owner. The only thing is, they must be in three different states, provinces, ex cetera.

So, create a list of the thirty caches you would like to use. Please include:

Date Found
Cache Owner
Geocaching Number
State, province, ex cetera
Your list should have thirty different caches by ten different owners (3 times 10).

So, in response to sparkyfry's question, it is option 2. Your list should look something like:

Cacher 1: GC# State: MN; GC# State: WI; GC# State: IA
Cacher 2: GC# State: MN; GC# State: SD; GC# State: ND
Cacher 3: GC# State: MN; GC# State: WI; GC# State: MI
Cacher 4: GC# State: UT; GC# State: WY; GC# State: MT
ex cetera

If it is possible, exclude caches owned by the cacher running the checker. If that isn't possible, no worries.

Yes but are there any one created with the new guidelines?
10. Source of Criteria Not Acceptable
Quote

These listing elements: cache titles, cache owner, GC Codes, publishing Reviewer or listing text. (new 2016)
I don't think it can be done without using the cache owner. I think there have been requewst with finds grouped by CO that were rejected by rewievers
But feel fre to ask your rewiever.

That is fine. We don't need to exclude anyone. This challenge already exists and is not new. I am just trying to get a checker built for it. I know one was done at some point, but the checker was disabled.

I did a checker but the criteria on owner is not clear.
Geocaching,com has two options owner_id or placed_by

owner_id would work just right. That looks like what I am needing.
