Michigan University / College Challenge Mystery Cache
Kneel More: For all those who have signed the log book, feel free to convert or claim a find.
I was quite a new cacher when I placed this cache and set the challenge. I admit I was a bit naive about how this challenge would work out. I know some of you have had fun completing it.
I feel however that with the fluidity of geocaches on campuses and the upgrading of maps and beta maps, this challenge has been as much or more of a challenge to maintain and check as it as been to complete.
Again, if you have signed the log sheet please convert it to a find or go ahead and claim the find.
Thank you to all those who played.

UPDATED 7-14-2015 At least one find at 20 of the 29 Michigan universities / colleges listed below. With at least one of the finds from a U.P. college.
The Challenge is for you to give it the Ol' College Try!
There is a cache container at the listed coordinates and the hint is to help find it. FTF gets a genuine cubic zirconia ring. It's actually quite nice.
AFTER MUCH DELIBERATION, I HAVE DECIDED TO COMBINE THE MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE #2 WITH THIS CHALLENGE. PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE IN QUALIFICATIONS. IF YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING ON BOTH CHALLENGES, THEN THIS WON'T BE A BAD THING. COMBINE YOUR FINDS TO QUALIFY FOR THIS CHALLENGE.
The difficulty/terrain rating is due to the distance and time required to achieve the finds. You may use previous finds to fill your list.
To log this cache you must reference your Michigan University Challenge List or list the GC codes for each qualifying find.
All finds must show in the tan colored area that indicates the schools campus on the Beta Map.
Bonus kudos if you submit a photo of you at the gate of your alma mater.
Here is a list of the Michigan Universities and Colleges that have geocaches on their campuses. Although there are more schools than listed, they do not all have geocaches on the campus. If a school that is not listed gets a cache published and you FIND it, please make note of it in your log.
