Geocache Description:


Welcome to the fifth year of the Smitten with the Mitten series!

For 2014 the theme is based on Scenic Driving Routes in Michigan

This final cache is a riddle of sorts. It is not located at the posted coordinates. In order to locate this final cache, you need to visit the 14 other geocaches in this series. At each cache you will find a Letter & Number (in the container and/or in the logbook). Take note of these codes! Take the codes and assemble them into the phrase:

FiTS LIKe A GlOVE.

From that phrase & number combination you should be able to figure out the final coordinates for this cache.

When you find this final cache, you can call yourself a "Mitten Master", and take a coupon from the cache. Each coupon is good for one "shiny metal object - whose name cannot be mentioned", see the picture in the logo above). Please take only one coupon for each caching ID (we reserve the right to deny Sock Puppet accounts).

The series will run from Saturday May 31, 2014 through Monday September 1, 2013 (Labor Day is the last day of the series).

At the beginning, there are 75 coupons in this final cache. Coupons not claimed by September 10, 2014 will be forfeited.

We hope you enjoy your tour of Michigan Scenic Driving Routes
Visit 14 geocaches in the SwtM series. At each geocache collect a letter and number combination. Insert them into the phrase FiTS LIKe A GlOVE. Use the coordinates from the phrase to find the final geocache and become a Mitten Master
