Geocache Description:

*The cache is not at the posted coordinates* *This Cache is not Winter Friendly*

Batman is known as the World's Greatest Detective, so we are going to be releasing a Detective Work Series.  Part of Batman's job is visiting a crime scene and collecting information, so that he can solve the case.  These mystery caches will require you to go to a place to collect information so that you can solve the cache location.


This cache is meant to serve as a companion to your trip to Greenfield Village.  Our purpose is to add some enjoyment to your visit to one of the coolest historical locations in Michigan.

For this puzzle, you will be required to travel to 14 different crime scenes, collecting numbers that are associated with the clue.  Once you have found the 14 numbers, you will then have the coordinates for the final location.   

The crime scenes are located at the Greenfield Village.  If you want to solve this the traditional way, you will have to visit the Village.  The hours for the village are 9:30am-5pm in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. The final cache location is in an area that does not require admission, but we ask that you only visit this during the hours that the Village is open.
