Cache is located at posed coordintate
There seems to be a theme in my challenge caches. I love travel and my challenge caches try to encourage that.
The United States currently has a land area of 3,535,948.13 sq. miles. This includes states, territories, and the fedral distric of Washington, D.C. so this challenge includes them all.
- No DC is not a State not sure why Challenges like to give a +1, so why not include places like Guam or Puerto Rico
Challenge:
- Challenge to find caches in States, Territories & Districts. A find is worth the combined area of the legal entity.
- A find in Oregon is worth 95,988.01 sq. miles, while a find in Guam is worth 209.80 sq. miles
- To qualify you need an area equal to 25% or greater of the combined area of the United States.
- 25% of 3,535,948.13 sq. miles = 883,987.03 sq. miles
- This can be done in as few as 3 states
As with all challenges I currently qualify for this challenge:
[MNTA](https://www.geocaching.com/profile/?u=MNTA) has used [Project-GC](https://project-gc.com/Challenges/GC9NW86/67432 "Project-GC Challenge Checker") to see if they qualified for this challenge and they did.
You qualify - you've found caches in regions of the US that make up more than 1/4 of its area!
