Old Petrol Station Traditional Cache

Dette er den eldste bevarte bensinstasjonen i Norge. Den var i drift fra 1933 til en gang på 50-tallet.

Her kan du se hvordan man pumpet og målte opp bensin før den elektriske/elektroniske bensinpumpa gjorde sitt inntog.
Bensinen ble pumpet opp i målekammeret med håndmakt for så å slippes ned på tanken.
Dette måtte gjentas et antall ganger før tranken var fyllt opp.
Til slutt fikk man regne ut totalt beløp.

Cachen har nano-størrelse (8mm x 11mm). Ta med blyant.

English text

This is the oldest preserved petrol station in Norway. It was in use from 1933 and well into the 1950s.

You can see here how petrol were pumped and measured before the electrical/electronic pump was introduced.
You had to pump it by hand to be measured in the glass tank and then let it flow down to the tank in the car.
This procedure had to be repeated a number of times in order to fill up the car.
Finally you had to calculate the total cost.

The cache size is nano (3/8" X 1/2"). Please bring your own pencil.

The River Promenade in Mosjøen

This cache will be one of several caches placed along the River Promenade which is planned for Mosjøen, hopefully by 2009. The promenade will be stretching from Mostjønna in the hills south of Mosjøen down to Marsøra.

This promenade will be passing the sports installations at Kippermoen, the camping site, along the river Skjerva through the old preseved street Sjøgata, along the beautiful 'Hotel garden', through the river park, over the old bridge and finally downstream along the western side of the river to Marsøra.

Some caches along the route (at the date of publication for this cache):
