Would someone be willing to create a checker to verify GC2VTK8 - IAT-Half Trail Challenge?  The challenge is to find one cache on the IAT in each of half of the Wisconsin counties the trail passes through (15 counties for one find, all thirty counties qualifies for a bonus find)

The line make it hard
"A qualifying cache must have the designation Ice Age Trail in the title or cache page description. "
It is possible if every ok caches has the exact text "Ice Age Trail", IAT in the name/description
I looked at some users list and the first cache i found was http://coord.info/GCGRAM "Along the Trail"  It has not "Ice Age Trail" in the description but refers to som trail and that is it the "Ice Age Trail" is probably only obvious when you look at at map with the trail

That makes it impossible to create a good checker
But it is not that hard to find out manual.
Search for Ice Age Trail and  Wisconsin  in the wild card search in the pgc dashboard. Do the same for the abbreviations and you will found most caches.
Then is it only to look along the trail in the missing counties and look for more finds. Look in the descripton to se if it is ok

I tagged a little helper tool on the only checker i could find that can check for text in the description
It will show all finds with Ice Age Trail in the description. Unfortunate there was no state filter available in the checker so all finds globally is included
