Stenslätten Traditional Cache

Idag är Stenslätten mest ett ställe man stannar till på i väntan på färjan till Rindö. Kanske passar man på att besöka kiosken som påminner oss starkt om Amerikanska filmer från 50-talet.

När ni ändå stannar till här i väntan på färjan har vi lagt ut en cache åt er att logga. Den består av en mindre plastask och vi har inte varit så elaka att vi gömt den bland stenarna. Trots det hoppas vi att ni får leta en liten stund åtminstone.

In english:
This place on Värmdö is called Stenslätten (translates into English as "the plain of stone"). From here leaves one of the ferrys to Rindö and if you once have travelled with the big boats that goes from Stockholm to Finland you are one hour into the journey when passing by here. The strait that divides Värmdö from Rindö is called Oxdjupet and was once one of the most important military defence areas for protecting Stocholm from maval attacks. The Fortress on the Rindö side is called Oskar Fredriks borg and the defence facillity on Värmdö is called Smörasken (which translates into English as "The butter box", a rather funny name we feel). Together with a number of other defence facilities spread around the area they formed "the Myttinge line"

Today you mostly stay here only briefly while waiting for the ferry to Rindö. Perhaps you take the time to visit the grill nearby which reminds a lot of an old American movie from the fifties we feel.

In order to keep you busy while here we placed a cache for you to log. The cache is a small plastic box which we did'nt hid among the stones (that mean we could never be) but hopefully you will have to search a least a short while anyway.
