Oh man I missed that part, that hurts. I have to get to 25 nights to get gold, then complete the challenge. That could be very trying. I might have to just try for the silver to gold challenge.
Unfortunately, I will be starting my job next month, so I won't have the benefit of doing anything prior to Aug 18.
Thank everyone for the help!
