To get to Ford Harris Park, travel north on Cunningham Ave AKA Route 45 towards Rantoul. After you pass Airport Road, it is about 2 miles further to get to Ford Harris Road. Turn left onto Ford Harris Road, and the park will be on your right.

As you enter this park, you will find a dedication plaque. As you proceed down the gravel driveway, you will notice a small swing-set on your left. Enter the number of swings the 8th space below.

Continue to the baseball diamond, and try to remember the first time you played baseball with friends or family. Look north-west to see a pavilion in the distance, and go to it. Along the way, notice the trees and try to imagine how long they have been growing here. When you arrive at the pavilion, count the number of doors and put that number into the 9th space below.

Now complete the mathematical equation and write the answer into the last space. Stand at the south-east corner of the pavilion, facing east, and proceed the number of steps in the last space. A slanted friend will give you what you seek.

___ / ___ x ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ + ___ = ___
