Geocache Description:

#1 in a series of 7 caches celebrating Portland's Rose Festival Events. Huge colorful balloons rise slowly into the morning sky from this location.

New Location and Cache Type as of 03-01-02.


Above coordinates will place you at the first parking lot on the right for this event, although, any parking lot will do. Park hours are from 8am - Dusk during the summer and 8am - 4pm during the winter. Easy cache to do with approximately 1/2 mile round-trip of walking required. Absolutely no bush wacking necessary.

From the parking lots go to the opposite side of the play ground equipment. From there walk in an Easterly direction until several trails form a T-intersection. Turn left and follow trail until you reach a T-intersection again. Turn right and follow trail to the smallest trunk you will ever see on the right side of the trail. The well concealed cache is a 2-1/2 x 7 x 11 inch tupperware container with GPS written on a white lid. Please use extreme caution when extracating, replacing, and re-concealing it as this is a heavily used recreational area.
