Well, isn't that special?


Novi, Michigan, birthplace of the Novi Special, was founded in 1832. There are currently 3 legends regarding its interesting name:
  • It was named for the sixth toll gate (No. VI) on the Grand River toll road
  • It was stop number 6 (No. VI) on the railroad
  • It was the sixth stage coach stop (No. VI) outside of Detroit
No matter how you get here (car, train or stage coach), the cache is not at the posted coordinates. In fact, you will only find a really cool water tower there. For the puzzle, you will need to solve using the formula:

N 42 28.XXX W 083 27.XXX




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
