Geocache Description:


Welcome to the inaugural MI_SUMMER_FUN series. This is the final bonus cache and 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 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).

The series this year focuses on fun summer activities that you can (maybe) only do in the great state of Michigan! The caches in this series are: 
Walk Across The Mackinaw Bridge

Take A Sand Dune Buggy Ride
Dive A Great Lake Shipwreck
Hunt For Yooperlites
Search For Petoskey Stones
Go Wild At Michigan Adventure
Chase That White Ball
Trail Ride In A Topless Jeep
Enjoy A Pronto Pup
Climb A Lighthouse
Celebrate Christmas In July
Paddle The Pictured Rocks
Root Root Root For The Tigers
GO GEOCACHING!! (Bonus)

Once you complete the entire series, at the final cache take one redemption coupon from the smaller, labeled container (one per geocaching ID). Each coupon is good for one shiny collectible token as shown above. We reserve the right to reject submissions for sock puppet / fake geocaching accounts, or if it is found that you did not complete the series in its entirety. There are coupons available to the first 70 finders of the series. 

This series will remain active from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Each coupon has a unique redemption code that will be required to be submitted when you request your shiny collectible token. Instructions to do this are included on the coupon. In case you do not have the ability to scan a QR code, the link is available here. Coupons not submitted by Sunday, September 11th will be forfeited and those who completed the series after the coupons were collected may have the opportunity to receive a shiny collectible token.

The hike to this final is significant. If you are attempting to complete the series in one day, this will prove to be the longest hike of the day, but a fitting end to your journey. The final is a large ammo can that should not prove difficult to find once at GZ. The hike is relatively flat, but is over 2km round trip depending on your choice of parking location. Some of the hike will be on well established trails, but the last few hundred feet could require some bushwhacking, depending on how much vegetation grows in as the summer progresses. 

This year's MI_SUMMER_FUN team was comprised of the following cachers (listed alphabetically). We hope you enjoy the series!
