My myth-loving geokids and I realized that there were no caches on one of our favorite trails, and set out to rectify that...A not-too-long walk on a beautiful trail, but remember that the way back is uphill ;) Please try to replace as found ("wedged" so it doesn't wander). CONGRATS to Alpenist for FTF!
In Norse Mythology, Bifrost (Bilrost or Bivrost) is a burning rainbow bridge that reaches between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (the realm of the gods). The bridge ends in heaven at Himinbjorg, the residence of the god Heimdallr, who guards it from the jotnar. Norse prophecy foretells the bridge’s destruction during Ragnarok by the forces of Muspell, the realm of fire. Bifrost parallels another bridge, Gjallarbru, which is the bridge between earth and the underworld. Every day the gods ride their horses across it to the holy well where they hold court - all the gods with the exception of Thor, who insists on wading through the boiling waters of the rivers Kormt and Ormt. In Prose Edda, one translation of a poem reads: “Kormt and Ormt and the Kerlaugs twain/Shall Thor each day wade through/(When dooms to give he forth shall go/To the ash-tree Yggdrasil;)/For heaven’s bridge burns all in flame,/And the sacred waters seethe.”
