Getting back into geocaching after many years absent from the hobby, we discovered there were no caches listed for this park. We felt that this park was well deserving of a cache, and so placed "Roosevelt's Return" which was muggled twice. The third time is a charm for this cache (WE HOPE!) This cache is a container placed in a "little box". It has been populated with various SWAG items for you to trade and swap. A nifty First To Find awaits the first successful geocacher. Please replace things as you found them, and be sure to spin the digits to re-lock this little box. Do not leave garbage or advertisements in this geocache, and try to pick up any garbage laying about and throw it away. Help keep our city parks clean.
TO ACCESS THIS GEOCACHE you will need to note a few things in this park. Take a short walk and count the number of rocks by the metal sculpture. That is the first digit you will need to unlock the cache. The next number is the number of red park benches. Maybe you should go take a short rest to contemplate the remaining digits. And should you sit at the right spot you should be able to find the last two digits of the year "Sam" was born.

Use these four numbers in that order to retrieve your target, sign the log, and swap some swag! Again, please spin the numbers on the lock after you replace the cache.
In the late 1880's, City Founder Paris Gibson stated, "It was decided at once to set aside, for park purposes, certain well located tracts of land within the City limits and to commence the planting of American Elms and other desirable trees." At the turn of that century, circa 1901, one of those tracts of land purchased was Mount Angela (Roosevelt Park). About a hundred years later, someone hid a Geocache at the base of one of those "desirable trees". That cache has since gone missing.
