Thing 48, Thing 50
Jan. 9th, 2012 11:49 pm48. Get to 4,000 snarfs at Markeroni
50. Snarf everything in Fairfax County
*sigh* I really don't have a hope of getting 4,000 markers snarfed by December at Markeroni. However, I'm currently up to 2,384. I've got another 50 or so from Denver and the Fredericksburg battlefield area still to snarf (none of which are in the system, so it takes a while to track them down and DL them properly). I've also got something like 500 from Gettysburg to process and log. So I'll have at least made a great effort.
As for Fairfax County progress, thanks to an amazingly awesome snarfari with
melydia yesterday, I've got McLean completely finished! Woot! As of today, I have exactly 59 left to snarf in Fairfax County, and 2 of those are bad data in the system. However, there's also one table marker down the street from where I work that is behind a construction fence. So I've got about 60 left, give or take. 20 of them are at Mount Vernon, and I have a Groupon for that expiring in a few months, so that will be a good excuse to knock those out.
Here's a screen cap of my snarf map (just in case I end up modifying the map itself:

Not too bad. That really isn't so many. Should take just a few trips to get 'em all. And, yes, my snarf maps are all color-coded. Pink means wildcard, purple are county markers, blue are state markers, yellow are national register, and green are table markers. Ones without black dots mean that I probably won't be able to snarf them. Push pins means that there's a huge group of markers in one area.
