This cache was placed with permission from Tualatin Hills Parks and
Recreation Dept.
Jenkins Estate Park was originally the home of Belle and Ralph
Jenkins. Who purchased the property and began designing their home
on the Jenkins Estate in 1912. Belle was the youngest daughter of
Captain J.C. Ainsworth and Ralph was a railroad station agent. They
both loved horses and found city life confining so the 68-acre
estate was built to include a beautiful, three-floor stable and
covered riding arena. Other amenities included splendid
English-style gardens, a greenhouse for plant cultivation, an
ornamental pool, a tea house for relaxation, a carriage house and a
water tower.
The cache is a nice walk from the parking lot. It is a Costco sized
plastic peanut jar and should be an easy find. There is no
bushwacking necessary as the cache is just off a main trail.
The park is normally open from dawn to dusk so please respect the
park hours. Also, there are often weddings/events held here so
please do not disturb those here for an event.
If the main gate is closed continue driving up the hill and enter
the park at the Camp Rivendale gate.
Congratulations to Divabetic&Dropshot24 for being the FTF.
