Geocache Description:


Welcome to the inaugural MI_SUMMER_FUN series. In this series, there are 14 caches plus one mystery bonus cache. In order to locate the bonus, you need to visit this cache and 13 others in this series first. At each cache you will find a bonus code that will substitute in to the following phrase (observe the capitalization) and form the final coordinates (there is a checker at the bottom of the cache page).

You've seen them at car shows, you've seen them on the roads, but have you ever seen a Jeep on a trail? Owning a Jeep isn't for everyone. For one, they get horrendous gas mileage, they are about as aerodynamic as a brick, and they have the suspension of a cinder block. Yet millions of Jeep Wranglers are sold each year? Why? Because they are a joy to drive, and we aren't talking about putting rubber to the road, we're talking rubber to trail, rubber to sand, or rubber to boulders. Jeep Wranglers have high suspensions, big tires, and tons of accessories that make them the ultimate off-road machine. If you ever get the chance to hit the trails in a Jeep Wrangler, you won't be disappointed. Drop the air pressure in the tires, drop the top down, and drop your wallet into your gas tank and HIT THE TRAILS! Even some local geocachers enjoy Jeep life!

Seen below are MIKEY MAC with "The Short Bus"


The Hiking Viking with "Mango Tango"


Dirt Bike Granny with "Betty White"


At the posted coordinates, you will be looking for a black phone number on a white object. To find the final geocache location, consider that phone number to be ABC-DEF-GHIJ and plug the numbers in as follows:

N42 56. (I-J) (A-D) (J-H)
W085 27. (E-J) (A-B) (D-G)

The north checksum is 10, the west checksum is 13.

The final is available a short distance off a nearby trail (sorry, no Jeeps allowed) Please be sure to replace the cache nicely out of sight.
