Finally Finished All Major Onyx Badges
Tonight I finally finished all of the major onyx badges. Not including seer, recruiter, recon or event badges. I believe I'm the first in my state (Nevada) to do this.
Some fun facts:
During this time I have never left the contiguous 48 United States. All of the states I've played Ingress in include Nevada, California, Oregon (first time there), Washington (first time there), Arizona, Utah, Maryland, D.C., Virginia, Delaware (first time there), Massachusetts (first time there), Colorado, Missouri (first time there), Kansas (first time there), New Jersey (first time there), New York, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Wyoming, New Mexico, and Illinois. As a side note Ingress has really taken me to so many places from my favorite films it's crazy.
I've attended ten anomalies, of which my team won nine out of ten and attempted 10 GORUCK events of which I completed nine out of ten (still no Heavy yet).
The best part of the whole journey has been all of the cool people I have met! Followed by the awesome places I've been with them, including snowy peaks, scorched deserts, and 55 mile hikes. Many of the things I've done I couldn't have done without the kindness and hospitality of Ingress agents and friends.
Thanks for reading, I'll post my agent screen shot when I'm allowed to post links. I'm not done playing though I'm done ****!

Congrats. Post a photo.
OP isn't high enough level to post links yet. I'm in the same boat, right now I'm floating about the forums trying to accumulate enough points to "level up" so I can post a glyph challenge sitrep and screenshots.
Oh, also, congrats OP lol 😊
I'm insightfulling posts I see but I don't know how soon I'll get enough to post the link. You can always ping @ZombieJughead in game if you want to see the stats. I'm going to make them public again now that I got it.

for links , you can bypass it by replacing the '.com' by [dot]com
good job!
well done, Agent!
Thanks for the comments, here is my profile:
3935km link, great!
That was from Pepperdine to Kauai with 2 VRLA. I had to wait several years for the lane to be clear when I was near the coast. 💪
Congrats @ZombieJughead ! Welcome to the black connector club... 😎
Oh and nice to talk to you the other day in COMMs
Amazing effort, congratulations! Which badge in your opinion was the most difficult or challenging to get to Onyx?
Congrats!
Thanks guys! Toughest badge was definitely Pioneer, it relies on targeting the best areas for captures and that can change quickly sometimes. Every vacation out of town for the past 4 years I've worked on it to one degree or another. Second toughest badge for me was Connector just due to the sheer grind. My dog loves that one as it has made us take many a late night park trip.
Wow so you never unlocked Seer though. Good job though.
Yeah I submitted maybe 60 portals before the initial Seer badge was put on pause. I felt like quality over quantity was the best path. Only 2 got approved from the initial batch by Niantic so the badge never unlocked.
