Park hours: 5:00am-midnight



This cache is part of a series dedicated to puzzles you might find in your Sunday paper.

To find this cache, you will need to solve this word jumble.

Unscramble each jumble below, with one letter to each square, to reveal six ordinary words. Find the coordinates by translating each circled letter to its numeric value (i.e. A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, K = 11, ... Z = 26)

Once you have coordinates, apply the following offset: N -0.521, W - 2.999 (as of 11/04/20).

There is also a pdf of the puzzle.

Remember to get the clue for the final from the top of the log. Please be sure to close the cache completely, so the seal is tight, and tuck it out of sight. Thanks.

You can check your answers for this puzzle (after you apply the offsets) in the checker below.


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