Either you can park at the Stanford Shopping Center or at a Stanford Parking lot on Quarry Road (cords in waypoint). They have visitor parking there, however you have to pay Mon-Fri 8AM-4PM.
I work at Stanford and bike past the Stanford Arboretum pretty much everyday, but hadn´t actually gone into the park until a couple of weeks ago. I ventured into the park and realized the treasures hidden in here. There is surprisingly little information about the mausoleum/statue/cactus garden here. There is no plaque to tell you what the building is. I told the other half of Team DoJ and when we checked it out he agreed that by placing a cache here, perhaps we could show other people this cool place. As there were some caches to close to where we wanted to originally put the cache, we had to change our plans and the cache is now actually outside the park.
If you have time you should go into the park and check out the Stanford family mausoleum. Close by is also the Arizona Cactus Garden and the Angel of Grief.
The Stanford Mausoleum holds the remains of the Stanford family. The two female sphinxes in the back were originally placed in the front. However the Stanfords didn´t like them and two male sphinxes were placed in the front instead and the other two moved to the back side.
Next to the Mausoleum is a statue of the Stanford family.
The Angel of Grief is dedicated to Jane Lathrop Stanfords brother Henry Lathrop. The statue is a copy of a statue originally found in Rome. There are a number of copies of the statue around the world.
The Arizona Cactus Garden was originally planted 1880-1883 to be a part of a larger garden adjacent to the planned Stanford estate. However when Leland Stanford Jr died, the plans changed and the University was founded instead. The garden was kept until 1920 when it fell in great disrepair. In 1997 the garden restoration began and is now an ongoing project.
Gongratulations to Geokashers on the FTF!
