The MiGO County Challenge is finally here! After a lot of hard work and discussion by the EC, we’ve approved a process and pin to be awarded for finding at least one cache in each of Michigan's 83 counties.
| Here’s a look at what your working for: |
 |
How do you get it? Simple. Once you’ve found a cache in every county, run a “my finds” pocket query and forward it along with any contact info you wish to share to Brian Bower (TeamBSquared) at

or Jason Vanacker (Vanman_30) at

and they will verify your finds. Once that’s done, we’ll notify Donna of Team CoyChev and she will work out a delivery option with you. To save on shipping costs, it’s preferred that you coordinate a pick up at an event that the CoyChev’s are attending. Which as most of you know, is like every event in the state!
So who can participate? Anyone! We’re opening it up to any Geocacher who puts in the time and effort to complete this difficult challenge.
What if I’ve already completed the challenge? Do I get a pin still? Yes you do! Any cacher that has found a cache in every county prior to our release of this challenge can still get one.
I’ve got more then one member of my team that was involved in this challenge. Do I only get one pin? After a lot of debate on this one, we’ve decided to keep it simple. If you have a multi member Geocaching account and you’d like more then one pin, your team can request one extra pin, but that’s it. A max of 2 pins per Geocaching account that has completed the challenge.

The Huron River Watershed Council, in cooperation with the Huron-Clinton Metroparks and 12 MiGO volunteers, have organized the longest 5 star terrain cache series ever. Over 100 miles in length, the series will take geocachers along the Huron River, past old dams, mills, and other historical and/or interesting places. Within the caches will be significant historic, informative and environmental facts about the Huron River, its watersheds, creeksheds and tributaries. For information on the series, please visit the Huron History Mystery Tour website.

MTGA is a non-profit organization that shall foster and facilitate the creation of an interconnected statewide system of trails and greenways for recreation, health, transportation, economic development and environmental/cultural preservation purposes. Michigan is currently a national leader in trailway development, with over 2,000 miles of rail-trail and non-rail-trail corridors and growing fast! Did you know that over two-thirds of Michigan counties either have an existing trailway or are in some stage of developing one? Michigan currently ranks second in the nation for the most trailway mileage. MiGO members have numerous geocaches placed along many of those trails. MTGA is for the trail groups in Michigan as MPRA is to Park managers throughout the state. MiGO has already been asked by the Lower Rouge River Recreation Trail to set-up an informational booth for the grand opening of phase one of their newest section of trail in Canton on June 7th. |

MTGA is the organization behind the Michigander Bike tour each year.
