Thanks to all who visited the caches in this summer series and learned a bit about Islands in Michigan.

The caches will be picked up over the next few days.

We cannot guarantee they will still be there if you go out for them, but to quote the movie Dumb and Dumber, "So what you're saying is ... there's a chance"

Geocache Description:

Welcome to the ninth year of the Smitten with the Mitten series!

For 2018 the theme is Michigan Islands

This final cache is a riddle of sorts. 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. At each cache you will find a Letter & Number (in the container and/or in the logbook). Take note of these codes! Take the codes and assemble them into the phrase:

FiTS LIKe A GlOVE

From that phrase & number combination you should be able to figure out the final coordinates for this cache.

When you find this final cache, you can call yourself a "Mitten Master", and take a coupon from the cache. Each coupon is good for one "shiny metal object - whose name cannot be mentioned" (see the picture in the logo above). Please take only one coupon for each caching ID. We reserve the right to deny Sock Puppet accounts.

The series will run from Saturday May 19, 2018 through Monday September 3, 2018 (Labor Day is the last day of the series).

At the beginning, there are 85 coupons in this final cache. Coupons not claimed by September 11, 2018 will be forfeited.

We hope you enjoy your tour of Michigan Islands

Visit 14 geocaches in the SwtM series. At each geocache collect a letter and number combination. Insert them into the phrase: FiTS LIKe A GlOVE Use the coordinates from the phrase to find the final geocache and become a Mitten Master
