"Grunden"
"Grunden" er vores første udlagte cache, og jeg har derfor valgt at give den et personligt islæt ved at placere den et sted som har betydet meget for mig op gennem min barndom.
"Grunden" is our first placed cache, and I have choosen to give it a personal touch by placing it at a spot that has meant a lot for me in my childhood
I 1970´erne og starten af 80´erne havde min farfar et stykke jord lidt syd for Frederikshavn, som vi slet og ret kaldte Grunden.
In the 1970´ties and the beginning of the 80´ties my grandfather had a piece of land a bit south of Frederikshavn which we simply called "Grunden" (translated: "The piece of land")
Den var fast mødepunkt for hele familien om sommeren, og jeg har rigtig mange gode minder derfra. Vi unger kunne bruge timer på at bade, fange krabber, gå til naboerne, bygge huler og meget mere.
It was a fixed meetingpoint for my whole family in the summertime, and I have many good memories from this place. We kids could use hours swimming, catch crabs, walk to the neighbors and much more.
Min farfar var dog altid optaget af at kystsikre grunden, hvilket han brugte meget tid på, til trods for at han var ret dårligt gående. Han slæbte den ene store kampesten efter den anden til, og supplerede sikringen med gamle tværbrædder fra togskinner som har åbenbart fik anskaffet sig.
But my grandfather was always busy building coast protection to ensure the Grunden, which he used much time in doing. He carried one big rock at a time to Grunden, supplied with wood from railwaytracks which he apparently bought from somewhere.
Uheldigvis satte motorvejsbyggeri og alm kommunal planlægning en stopper for grundene i dette område op gennem 80´erne, men min farfars kystsikring står stadig, og beskytter nu E45 mod vandets rasen i efterårsstormene.
unfortunately highwayplans and local goverment ended the Grunden sometime in the 80´ties, but my grandfathers coastal protection still stands and is now protecting the E45 against being flooded by the raging sea in the autumn storms.
