Startade upp med steg ett i feb. 2008 och var klara med slutsteget i aug. 2009. Inget jäkt här inte.
Tack för en intressant och lärorik multi.

Förra året räknade vi ut koordinaterna, men i dag var det tid att logga den, det behövde 3 gånger att hitta :-).
Efter loggningen måste vi tanka upp i farfarstuga med kaffee och wåfflor.TFTC.

The final is so far off that we have to wait for another day to take that.

Förra veckan fikade vi i Olshammar och inhämtade de nödvändiga uppgifterna för att hitta cachen. Idag drog vi så på marschkängorna, ingen skridskois nämligen, och skred till verket. Kul med så perfekta koordinater. Cachen loggades och sedan fika på stället. Tog ett coin. T4TC
