Roosevelt Park has undergone some recent modification in the
last few years as part of Rapid City's 2012 program.
1. Pond moved.
2. Outdoor pool removed (replaced by one at Sioux Park).
3. Garden added.
4. Indoor pool and waterslide added.
5. Indoor ice arena added.
6. Landscaping and sidewalks added throughout the area.
The multi-stage cache explores the area around the park and
complexes to familiarize you with what Rapid City has to offer. You
may even come back to see a hockey game, swim, pinic or walk your
dog!
Each step will require you to write down a number and use digits
of the number to determine the location of the micro cache. Each
digit corresponds to a letter in the final stage.
Stage 1: Roosevelt Pond (N 44°04.978 W 103°12.571)
This where the adventure begins. The pond used to be farther to the
east and is now where the outdoor pool roughly was. Look for...
Address number: FHI
Stage 2: Swim Center (N 44°05.006 W 103°12.405)
No sunburn or frostbite for you! The Swim Center is open year round
and no membership is required. Look for 3 things around the
entrance...
Address number: EFJ
Model number: IFAA
Serial number: GKCJEE
Stage 3: Ice Arena (N 44°05.054 W 103°12.394)
In the winter there are ice hockey league games and roller blading
in the summer. Look for...
Address number: FID
Stage 4: Flower Garden (N 44°05.082 W 103°12.533)
This is where the "park" in Roosevelt Park comes from. There are
some nice flowers here, benches, and a playground. Look for...
Year: FAAB
Stage 5: Final Stage (N 44°AB.C6H W 103°EF.DJK)
Now take the numbers from the other 4 stages and plug them into the
above coordinate and you will find a micro cache.
Remember to bring a pencil and paper do your decoding and to
sign the log book!
