Geocache Description:

This cache is being brought back by the GeoPreservationTeam in order to make the entire Get A Clue series available. This cache is part of the "Get a Clue" series although it can be done on its own.The above coordinates are not the location of the cache. Solve the puzzle below (with due respect to the much better puzzle that sort of inspired this one) to determine the final location

This cache can be reached from the trail, no bushwhacking required. The Hall is the room where guests enter and exit Mr. Body's mansion. In the corner, by the umbrella stand, you find a scattering of notes in Mr. Body's handwriting. Not to spoil the ending but, you will end up with coordinates. When you do, subtract 1.0001 from the minutes portion of the longitude. The final coordinates will put you unmistakenly in a large park. If you find yourself not in a large park, take another look at your solution. 9/8/15 This cache was moved to comply with PP&R's new policy... so there is an additional off-set... "This cache complies with the geocaching policies for Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) properties. Please respect park hours when caching." after solving the puzzle and subtracting the off-set listed above... to the North add .021* (*UPDATED 12/6/17 ) - and to the West add .054 to find the cache. The check sum for the final coordinates is 52.
