cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

Geocache Description:

Viewpoint in Horten.

This cache is hidden on one of the gun sites that was built as a land defence for the naval base in Horten during the political turbulent time before Norway ended the union with Sweden. The artillery was under plain Norwegian command, and not under the Norwegian-Swedish king like the rest of the military forces.
