I began reviewing in 2003 taking over for Trippy1976 (also reviewed as -Trippy1976-), when I started umc and I split the duties for Michigan. About a year later I started doing the whole state by myself and continued until -Tiki- came on board in 2007 and we once again split the state. I had the east half and he did the west half. That continued until 2009 when -DeRock- began reviewing. I took the northern half of the state and -Tiki- & -DeRock- split the lower half. Fast forward to 2012 and we started getting more caches than we could handle so we added a new member to the Michigan reviewer team -Vanman- when took over the area in between -Tiki- and -DeRock- and then in 2013 the newest member -allenite- came on board to take over for Tiki in W. Michigan.
Begining in 2005 every time a cache is published there is a Published log placed on the cache page, normally it will be the last log on the page so you'll need to scroll all the way to the bottom. Savvy users can probably find an automated way to figure out who publised finds on post 2005 caches.
Your Challenge: Find a cache published by each of the Michigan reviewers. This is a total of 7 caches and does not include this cache. Trippy reviewed under two accounts -Trippy1976- and also without the hyphens Trippy1976, either of those will count toward this challenge (not both). You may use any cache type except Events or Earthcaches. Previous finds do count.
Michigan Reviewers: Must find one cache published by each of these reviewers.
-Trippy1976- or Trippy1976
umc
-Rusty-
-Tiki-
-DeRock-
-Vanman-
-allenite-
In addition to the seven Michigan reviewers we have had quite a list of other reviewers publish caches in our state over the years, all prior to 2005 so you probably won't find their names. Each of the people below published at least one cache which is still active at the time I'm placing this one: 9Key, Bryan, cache_ninja, DustPuppy, erik88l-r, Iryshe, Moun10Bike, mtn-man, Ron Streeter, Honeychile, ncflyers, Brokenwing, gpsfun, CAche MARU, Seth!
If you have found a MICHIGAN cache published by a reviewer other than the seven linked above you may substitute it for any of the seven linked. ie: Cache Shadow published a joint USA/Canada series in the thumb area.
UPDATE: Effective 9/15/14 there are some slight changes to the qualifications, please read them carefully!
Good luck!

UPDATE:11/19/13 I have officially added -allenite- to the challenge requirements. I think it's an easy add and recent finders all had it but now it's official.
