General hints: All viewpoints are inside Sellwood Park (bounded by SE 7th, SE Miller, SE Oaks Park Way, and SE Rex). Viewpoint A is at the posted coordinates near the park entrance. Each subsequent viewpoint follows a rough counter-clockwise loop around the park. No two consecutive viewpoints are more than 500 feet apart, and most are much closer.
A: Viewpoint A is at the posted coordinates. A = the only nonzero number on this sign, minus 6.
B: In which structure are these 5 eyeball-like symbols?
Playground: B=7, Pool: B=8, Bath House: B=9, Tennis Court: B=0
C: From this viewpoint, look left to the closest bench. Find the name on the plaque at the base of this bench. C = the number of letters in the last name, minus 4.
D: The integer between the words Mueller and Albertaville, plus 4.
E: Which direction are you facing at this viewpoint?
North: E = 5, South: E = 6, East: E = 7, West: E = 8
F: What sport is this guy playing?
Tennis: F = 0, Basketball: F = 1, Baseball: F = 2, Pickleball: F = 3
G: How many dormers are visible in the roof below this tower? G = this number x 3.
H: How many steps? That number minus 8 = H.
I: How many green rings? That number minus 16 = I.
J: To the left of this viewpoint, find the AquaShield Protective Enclosure. The first digit of its serial number = J.
Checksum A through J = 50
Cache location (Octopus hunt): For the final coordinates, solve for North 45 AB.CDE, West 122 FG.HIJ. This octopus has wiggled into a tight space just South of the South-pointing arrow.
