Geocache Description:

Visit Another Roosevelt Park Puzzle details at the DGP

This park is truly one of the most beautiful in the city and deserves to be visited more often. This is a log-only cache with no room for a writing instrument. Also please exercise EXTREME caution since muggles are EVERYWHERE !

Roosevelt Park gets a bum rap. Rolling hills lined by vast trees have seen enough marijuana to keep a decade's worth of Grateful Dead concerts buzzing. But if you look past the rough and well-worn edges, a rich piece of city history welcomes you. Built in the 1930s and named for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, it remains the only city park on the National Register of Historic Places. It has become the epicenter for social justice causes - most antiwar and drug legalization marches begin and end there. Idealistic students in groups such as "Food Not Bombs" gather weekly to feed homeless people they know by name. Dogs roam free in the mornings, while families gather during afternoons and weekends. It's home to every possible game that can be played with a Frisbee including an odd variation of golf. And children armed with a mere ball and glove participate in the sweetest and purest form of sports played anywhere in the city.

The above listed coordinates are simply a suggested parking spot from which to explore the park. To decode the hiding place of the geocache you need to solve the following sequence of letters with 3 blanks at the end --

O T T F F S S _ _ _

The cache can be found at 35 04.(z+1)(x+y)(x) and 106 37.(x+y+z)(x+z)(3y+1), where x = number of T's in the sequence, y = number of F's, and z = number of distinct consonants.

Children are oftentimes quicker to solve this puzzle than adults ! Step carefully around the tricky terrain. No foliage needs to be disturbed or rocks overturned.
