Geocache Description:


Welcome to the second 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 15 other geocaches in this series first. At each cache you will find a bonus code that will substitute into the following phrase (observe the capitalization and underlining) and form the coords to the beginning of the hunt for the final cache. The reason for this added step is to ensure your feet stay dry on approach to the final. At the solved coordinates you should find the coordinates to the final cache location, which is best accessed from the path you're already on. The checker will confirm the STAGE ONE coordinates.

When you get to the final, ask yourself one question....what was the THEME of our series this year?

        Bonus Cache

 

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. Last year we did not run out of coupons, but we can make no guarantee that will be the case this year.

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 10th will be forfeited and those who completed the series after the coupons ran out may have the opportunity to receive a shiny collectible token. To save the expense of packaging and mailing, attempts will be made to hand deliver shiny collectible tokens in person for local cachers.

 

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