This cache complies with the geocaching policies for Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) properties. Please respect park hours when caching.

Congratulations to Findingneverland44 for FTF!
General hints: All viewpoints and the final cache location are visible from inside Powell Park (bounded by SE 26th, SE Powell, the north end of the Fred Meyer Conference Center parking lot, and the east edge of the baseball diamond). Viewpoint A is visible from the posted coordinates near the east edge of the park. Each subsequent viewpoint follows an approximate clockwise loop around the park. No two consecutive viewpoints are more than 500 feet apart, and most are much closer. The item in one of the viewpoints is slightly outside these boundaries but is visible from inside the park.
A: This viewpoint is visible from the posted coordinates. How many of the yellow squares framed in purple trim are there on the west side of the building? This number x 2 = A.
B: What color is the other post in this structure?
Blue: B = 7, Red: B = 8, Green, B = 9, Yellow, B = 0
C: How many basketball hoops are there in this area? This number + 2 = C.
D: How many pig-nose-shaped footholds are there on this climbing wall? This number minus 5 = D.
E: How many of these arches are there? (Count all the arches on both sides of the building). This number = E.
F: The quote at the top of this sign is about the ‘thrill of the ________’.
Game: F = 9, Chase: F = 0, Grass: F = 1, Crowd: F = 2
Cache location (Octopus hunt): For the final coordinates, solve for North 45 29.ABC, West 122 38.DEF. This octopus is hiding under some natural camouflage. Please use stealth and carefully pile up the camouflage again after signing the log.
Checksum A through F = 35
