I wrote an application, which analyzes the results of your "my finds" query. I'm opening it up to the public, for anyone who wants to install it, or fork the code. You can find it (and a screen shot) here: https://github.com/mmendelson222/geocaching-fizzy It runs on Windows (sorry, Mac people). Of course this has helped me to test my challenge checker scripts.

OK, this has been an interesting research project, but I got it all figured out. The goal was a challenge checker for this cache in Ocean City MD: https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GC4191P_oc-vacation-challenge I'll summarize: I was able to find county-level polygons here: http://www.gadm.org/country, and saved as KML format.

OK I know this was a long time ago, but I went ahead and created your script! It did take me a while. It checks for challenge caches by looking at the attributes. It can't check for a cache on your birthday, so I added a note to the output if the user doesn't qualify. Please take a look and let me know if it looks good. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC3YC4Zby mellow_cello - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
OK garretslarrity, take a look! Once I started looking at it, I sort of got carried away and wrote the whole thing. Let me know your feedback. https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9A8G6by mellow_cello - ARCHIVE Checker requests (completed)
