Hmmmmm, for some reason, user Indigo Parrish (who happens to be the CO), is showing up just now as not qualified. Why now? some change you made? He found this cache https://coord.info/GC829D which is only .035 miles from the center point for Texarkana. It must be something related to the cache being in Arkansas and not in Texas ? It should count.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Your final format changes are brilliant. It makes the summary of the results perfectly understandable at a glance. I like seeing the red circles on the map. Shows me exactly where I need to go. I only need 19 cities. I am not *really* working on this challenge, but if I happen to be passing that way I might as well find a cache.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

Great just about done. I just went to run the checker myself and it says "This checker script is disabled" ??by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thanks. 5 more finders appeared via the greasemonkey script who don't qualify: nwr123 -- fails Mill Creek gonefishing2 -- fails Baytown Ladybug Kids -- fails Mill Creek She & He -- fails Jacksboro, Pflugerville, Longview, Idalou, Angelina, Baytown rilekyle -- fails Mill Creek Thus - City #34 Mill Creek - changed radius to 5 and added a second city named Mill Creek.

will do. One issue, I can't run the checker for Entwined55. That name is not found when you type it in. Any idea why? It's a real user who have posted a find here. same issue trying to use that profile name in Map Compare too, not just this checker.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
well The Outlaws was < 8 to Bartonville so he's good now for that. If we get Moosiegirl by making it 9, let's do that. I assumed they found the same cache since they are married to each other, but I guess they were each there at different times. As for Alameda, let's keep it as is. I will discuss the situation with the CO and see what he wants them to do. Make a long drivby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Dimebox = 11 (should allow DE_Cryptoman to qualify) Hondo = 5 (should ? allow TeamML to qualify, they don't have a book mark list) Bartonville = 8 (should pick up Moosiegirl and The Outlaw) those two have bookmark lists, but the list doesn't show what city the cache is supposed to be for. Grrrr. I think djbtex just messed up by getting a cache in Val Verde County but not in thby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
see previous message. these changes should get us very close. It's possible a user who posted a smiley completely missed a city though. we shall see.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

ok, City 32 - Bear Creek added two more Bear Creeks to the spreadsheet.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thanks. I keep finding new stuff as I go thru the qualifiers for this challenge. City 83, Cottonwood. Should now read Cottonwood (Kaufman County) because added 7 more Cottonwoods..... see spreadsheet for coords and radius.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Super, I see _ILMOP_ has completed 7 Stars! Holy Moley! One typo, on the success line for Louisiana, there is a space after "Louisiana" and before the comma You've found 50 caches in the group 50 State Star - Louisiana , out of 49 required. Other than that it's ready for production! Thanks, and that was fast! I assume I can delete my Bookmark Lists now, rightby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I found a minor glitch. The CO says five days, but then his example says Dec 20 thru Dec 25 which is 6 days. "All five cache type finds for each state must be found within a five (5) day window. Example:You make a trip to border state "A" & find a traditional on December 20th. The other 4 cache types for that state must be found by December 25th for all 5 of those cacheby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

44 Public Bookmarks created. there are 39 states with Stars and 5 of them have 2 stars (Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Tennessee and Virginia). The names of these Bookmark Lists all start with "50 State Star".by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Wow, it looks good. works for me and also someone else who qualified. You can put it into production.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
ok, I'll do that tomorrowby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
well I'm glad I helped. Let me know where to send the info for the state lists. If I just created BM lists, could you pull it from there?by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I am still thinking...... question: this would be possible if we could have one bookmark list per star, right? You would just have to determine if the user had 49+ finds on each list. Now here is a checker for one of my challenges, where you need to have found 70% of the caches on a bookmark list. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC5HP0V/48885 I am looking at the code and can'by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Well, maybe not Map Compare. But like this Challenge. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC4P9D7/7378 It gets a list of all caches I've found beginning with the letter L. and gives me a total of 873. all I'd want to do is change it to search for caches that contain (as opposed to begin with) the string "50 State Star" (in Texas) and "Louisiana Star" (in Louisby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
what about this idea.... a series of Map Compares. first one looks for finds from State=Texas and Cache Name contains "50 State Star", checks for => 49 finds second one looks finds from State=Louisiana and Cache Name contains "Louisiana Star", checks for => 49 finds and so on for each state, with a different Cache Name contains string for each state. for statesby DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Thanks, I wish I qualified, since I've signed the log. LOL I did get 543 one month but who knew then I should have kept going to 600.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
I spoke too soon. AL's should be included, because those finds are included in one's monthly found totals. So can you make that change?by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
Since this Challenge came out before AL's I don't think they should be included. So I'd say it's good to go and you can put into production.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
thanks - I'll run the results by the CO and see what he thinks.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)

https://coord.info/GC5QHQY I know this one will be easy. The 6 Step Program (requirements): Have at least one calendar month in which you logged a minimum of 100 caches found.

I uploaded 102 more caches for two Tennessee State Stars. The stars have different CO's. I won't upload any more until you tell me if this approach is workable. For all the state stars, I'd end up with 3 Bookmark Lists.by DrPflug - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
