If 3+10^m is not squarefree, say 3+10^m = u^2*v where v is squarefree, then the terms with length m are t^2*v where 10^m > 3*t^2*v >= 10^(m-1). The first m for which 3+10^m is not squarefree are 34, 59, 60, 61, 67. - Robert Israel, Aug 07 2019
Since 3+10^m is divisible by 7^2 for m = 34 + 42*k, the sequence contains 4*(3+10^m)/49, 9*(3+10^m)/49 and 16*(3+10^m)/49 for such m, and in particular is infinite. - Robert Israel, Aug 08 2019
