Geocache Description:

This cache is a plastic nut jar. There is plenty of room for trackables and swag. The cache is located just down the hill a bit from the playground at Camp Rivendale. If the Camp Rivendale is active the cache can be approached from the north and walking up the hill and around the green house.

FTF prize is a collectible dollar coin.

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 park's main gate is normally open from dawn to dusk week days. 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.

This cache is placed with the approval of Tualatin Hills Park & Rec. Dept. and the staff at Jenkins Estate

Congratulations to ryorke for being the FTF.
