Geocache Description:

The name refers to the area known as Backa. You might have a nice view from here. (Yes, in 2001 at least...)

This geocache was originally hidden in November 2001.

There is a new lockbox out since end of August 2011

Original description:

  The "PACK" contains a logbook but no PENCIL. Please bring one, we
forgot... The cache also contains FTF- "liquid heart" which is the treasure.
Other items are: a film roll canister with 
earplugs (for use to keep the civilisation away),
a lighter, one 
new "kallepeng" and a spicy thing. The box is strapped with plastic 
band for the first finder.

NEWS 2011: In summer the view is not that great anymore. But still worth coming for in the winter.
The trees around have grown to really high ones in 10 years since the cache was placed.
And the St. Jörgens Park (once a "mental institution") was not that full of private housing that is is today

News october 2019: After a whopping 18 years the area looks a bit different I must say :) But cache still up and running!

News 2023: For some reason GC changed the name to Backavallen after 20 years, I try to change it back to the original: BACKPACK
