The Challenge
Each of us knows how many finds that we have. The total number of favorite points of those caches is normally unknown. This number can change daily. This challenge is to find caches, that when added together, equal 50,000 favorite points.

The favorite points from any cache type found on any day counts toward your total. There are no requirements for a number of caches found - just that their favorite points add up to 50,000 or more.

Use the challenge checker below to see if you qualify. You may sign the log before completing the challenge. If you have done this, please use a "Write note" log, and then change it to a "Found it" log once you have completed the challenge.

---

Logging
When logging, just state that you've used the challenge checker, and meet the requirements of the checker. Feel free to list your top ten if you want, but this isn't required. The checker will stop checking after it has found the required 50,000 points. You may have many more, but for this challenge, you only need 50,000.

---

Placement
There is a giveaway hint if you need it. Parking will be tough during business hours, and valet parking has claimed all nearby parking. Plan on a park, and short walk depending on when you search.

---

Sample
Here are my qualifications as an example:

I found the sum of 50,056 Favorite Points on 193 caches, and I needed 50,000 of Favorite Points.

Finally finished logging from Yuma and now I've made it over the 50k FP mark! Signed it back on 3/27/19. Guess I need to make a trip to HQ to try to get to 75K!

Doing a few quick ones after returning from the north. Meet the requirements, image from project-gc attached. Appreciate the challenge.

Short caching day. We lazed around until 2pm before heading out into the cold to grab a few. The snow is mostly gone and crisp winter air is making caching with @WindAtMyBack a quick expedition.. We signed a hand full of challenge caches. This was one of them.
Thanks for the cache!
