Denne's Grand Slam Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

cphug184: Letting this one go- 70 finders in the years since publication.

Since they started maintaining the area of the final stage, there is no good place to hide a kid's cache without going on nearby Franklin Farm property. I used to just hide a big tupperware in the tall grass.

Thanks for all the past finders!

Geocache Description:

Round the bases in this easy puzzle multi. Good for kids!

This is an easy puzzle to solve but you need to go on site. The coords are to "Home Plate"- a redwood and yellow FCPA sign. Solve the puzzle below using info from the sign and you are on your way around the bases. First base and second base are shiny metallic bison tubes that have coords to the next base. Third base is the final- a large clear plastic jar with a red top. Finish back at the sign for your Denne's Grand Slam!!
Please hunt this cache only during the hours between dawn and dusk. Entering the park after dark is against park rules and you could be found trespassing. Any logs indicating the cache was found at night will be deleted.

The park is named to honor a man who gave a lot of time supporting youth sports in the area. This cache recognizes him and all youth sports volunteers. The dad who gets up early to line the fields. The mom who adds coaching to all her regular motherly duties. The parents that make the snack schedules. The team moms. The volunteer umpires. Without you, our kids would have a less memorable experience. Thank you.

For the Puzzle: Assume A is 1, B is 2, etc. On the sign is the first name, middle initial and last name of an individual. Use the initial letter of his first and last names and his middle initial.

Initial letter of his first name is X
His middle initial is Y
Initial letter of his last name is Z
Add X,Y and Z to form W
Subtract Y from Z to get V

Coords for first base are N38.54.7X6, W077 24.WVV.

Batter up!!

NOTICE: Please be respectful of the park hours. FCPA Parks are open dawn to dusk unless otherwise posted. If you enter the park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you can be ticketed, or arrested and you will jeopardize the future of geocaching in the parks. Do NOT hunt this cache at night!
