This is a great (and ambitious!) project. I picked up 3 "near hits" in Montana back in June that I haven't sent in yet. Very interesting to check out other parts of the world.

mcaver, are you sure you haven't had 3 hits of something else?  got a link?

Note, my initial post says "haven't sent in yet"

Here's what I got out of their Poles Problem page:

As you get closer to the north/south poles, the lines of longitude get closer together, which means there are more confluence points in a smaller area of land. To keep this few skewing the balance of points toward the poles, they devised a formula to skip (classify as secondary) some of the points at these higher latitudes. They say they'll still post photos and reports for secondary confluences, but they are not required to complete the project.

Ah, thanks... the poles problem page cleared it up, I couldn't figure out how they chose which points to skip.  Very cool, I spent at least a couple of hours at this site last night.  I love the composite maps.

It's a great resource to get an idea of what the geography of some far-off place is like, like Africa or Asia.

What a cool link!  This is kinda like geocaching, but all over the world.  Man, if I had all the money and time that I wanted....
