Geocache Description:


Fagernes is now a city. And a city of course needs an urban cache.
Anything less would not be proper. So, here it comes.


Not very far from the above monument (of dubious urban inspiration) there is a cache.


The cache is  even closer to the clearly urban inspired monument shown below.

In the year of the Lord 2007, the municipal council of Nord-Aurdal in Valdres, Norway - for some reason or another - exercised their right according to Norwegian Law to declare the municipal center of Nord-Aurdal, i.e. Fagernes, a city.

Well, my oh my, this is heavy news indeed.

But it was probably to be expected since the said location has been the proud host of a gouvernment owned liquer outlet for some years. Evil tongues (local) say that it is an attempt to give Fagernes something that Beitostølen has not and Leira can not steal away from the good people of Fagernes..

But then a proper city needs a lot of things - like, say, an urban cache.

But rejoice, now it is here! Smack in the city center.

Like all urban caches, this one is probably also easier to find than to grab without attracting the unwanted attention of muggles.

Two get an impression of the installation, take a look at the picture "The installation". And there is also a spoiler picture available for the faint hearted.

The cache holds only a combined stashnote and log, a short pencil and some very small items for trading.

PS. There is rumors of an official  celebration of the urban state of Fagernes this week (36/2007).
