Det gamle trygdekontoret.
Trygdekontoret i Bø var i sine tidlige dager lokalisert her på Holsjøleitet. Det var et lite rødt hus. Trygve Sivertsen fra Lynghaugen var trygdesjef den gangen. Trygdekontoret ble etterhvert flyttet til Herredshuset og senere til nybygget på Bøheimen hvor det er i dag.
Dette huset kan jeg huske fra da jeg var barn. Det stod bare her og var ikke i bruk. Mange ganger mens vi stod å ventet på skolebussen ergret det oss at vi ikke kunne gå inn i det når det blåste, regnet og snødde. En gang var døra brutt opp og vi kunne i to-tre dager stå inne å vente på bussen, men vi fant fort ut at det var vanskelig å se når bussen kom siden vinduene var spikret igjen. Dessuten var det jo litt skummelt for egentlig hadde vi ikke lov til å bruke huset. Men døra ble raskt spikret igjen. Etter dette tok det ikke så veldig lang tid før huset ble revet. I dag finner du bare muren igjen av det gamle trygdekontoret. Og det er kommet et lite buss skur litt lengre borti veien.
Som en liten hyllest til det lille gamle rødmalte huset har jeg lagt en cache her.
Er du her sommerstid benytt deg av rasteplassen rett ved og se på fuglelivet i begge vannene her. I det minste, Førvannet, vil du helt sikkert se et svanepar. Det har vært et par i dette vannet så langt tilbake jeg kan huske. Det er vel neppe det samme parret som var her da jeg var unge, men det kan jo hende det er etterkommere. Samme par pleier å komme tilbake til samme rede år etter år.

The social security office in Bo was in his early days located here on Holsjøleitet. It was a little red house. Trygve Sivertsen from Lynghaugen was chief at the time. The social security office was later moved to the community center, and afther that to the new building at Bøheimen where it is today.
I can remember this house from I was a child. It was not in use. Many times while we were waiting for the school bus, it annoyed us that we could not go into it when it was windy, raining and snowing. Once the door was broken and we could go inside for two or three days stand there waiting for the bus, but we soon found out that it was difficult to see when the bus arrived since the windows were nailed. And it was a little scary for we had no right to use the house. But the door was quickly nailed again. Not so very long after that the house was demolished. Today you will find only the wall remains of the old social security. And it's got a small bus shed a little further down the road.
As a small tribute to the little old red house, I put a cache here.
Are you here in the summer take advantage of the picnic area right next to and watch the birds in both the lakes here. In the smalest, Førvannet, you will surely see a swanepare. There have been a couple in the water as far back as I can remember. It is not the same mated that was here when I was young, but it could happen it's descendants. The same couples tend to return to the track year after year.
