Makuta Teridax: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Due to lack of response from the owner, this cache is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,

Geocache Description:

Ulaovnen Cave
”Ulaovnen" er det folkelige navnet på denne naturlige hulen i fjellet på østsiden av Robergkollen. Hula er fredet og vi ber om at besøkende nøyer seg med å ta den i øyesyn og ikke graver i den.

Beskrivelse:
I kollens bratte Ø-side: Hule med inngang mot NØ. Taket i hulen er uregelmessig og sterkt forvitret. Gulvet består av svart jord, blandet med små bruddstein. Jordlaget ser ut til å være mer enn 0,1m tykt. Ved inngangen vokser gress og bregner, utenfor står en bjørk. Høyde i dråpefallet 1,4m, innerst i hulen 1m. Dybde 4m, br 2m.

En sommerdag i 1959 fant 14 år gamle Dag Wilhelm Holmer fra Skien en steinøks av lokal bergart i hula. Øksa er fra steinalder. Det er ikke foretatt arkeologiske undersøkelser i hula. Innlevert Vestfold Fylkesmuseum, Tønsberg.
Hvit 1,2 liter plastboks. Innhold: Loggbok, pen og cacheinfo. Opprinnelig byttegjenstander: Førstehjelpskit, sjongleringsballer, lekebil og armbånd.

Ulaovnen Cave

Description:
The steep hills on E side: cave with an entrance from the NE. The ceiling of the cave is irregular and severely weathered. The floor consists of black soil, mixed with small rubble. Soil layer seems to be more than 0.1 m thick. At the beginning of growing grass and ferns, stands outside of a birch. Height: 1.4 m, deep in the cave 1m. Depth: 4m, 2m wide.

Discovery Reference:
One summer day in 1959 found 14-year-old Day William Holmer from Skien a stone ax of local rock in the cave. The ax is from the Stone Age. It is not undertaken archaeological investigations in the cave. Submitted Vestfold County Museum, Tønsberg.
