Geocache Description:

A very well hidden microcache by/in Ljanselva in Oslo.
2004-06-14: Cache moved. Hints and coordinates updated.

Small, blue container hidden between Leirskallen and Ljabru along the river Ljanselva. Ljanselva is one of 7 rivers/creeks of Oslo. Read more about it at "http://www.osloelveforum.org/ljans.html">Oslo Elveforum, unfortunately only in Norwegian. Also a nice "http://home.no.net/oddketil/ljanselva.html">photo documentary. The area along this part of the river is untouched old forrest, so the GPS coverage may be very poor at times. The cache is hidden sort of in the middle of the river, althou it wasent much water flowing when I placed the cache. More like a small creek with soggy areas on the riverbank. Wear boots and pants, as the area is full of stinging nettles (Brennesle). As you walk along the blue-marked track, you are in the correct area when you see the very tall white birch on the west side of the trail. Container is 3 cm diameter and 6 cm long. Cache contains from the start;
  • infosheet/log, tiny pencil
  • Old austrian 20-shilling note
  • ICE-drops
  • Scotchlocks
  • A written number inside the lid...take a note for future use
