Denne cache er tilegnet en geoven, som ikke er her mere - Snowman var meget vellidt i det københavnske geocachingmiljø og var altid klar på en snak. Æret være hans minde.
"Det skrupknager i mig, så dejligt koldt er det!" sagde snemanden. "Vinden kan rigtignok bide liv i én! Og hvor den gloende der, hun glor!" det var Solen, han mente; den var lige ved at gå ned. "Hun skal ikke få mig til at blinke, jeg kan nok holde på brokkerne!"
Det var to store, trekantede tagstensbrokker, han havde til øjne; munden var et stykke af en gammel rive, derfor havde han tænder.
Han var født under hurraråb af drengene, hilst af bjældeklang og piskesmæld fra kanerne.
Solen gik ned, fuldmånen stod op, rund og stor, klar og dejlig i den blå luft.

This cache is dedicated to a geofriend who is no longer here - Snowman was very popular in the Copenhagen geocaching community and was always up for a chat. Honored be his memory.
"It is so delightfully cold," said the Snow Man, "that it makes my whole body crackle. This is just the kind of wind to blow life into one. How that great red thing up there is staring at me!" He meant the sun, who was just setting. "It shall not make me wink. I shall manage to keep the pieces."
He had two triangular pieces of tile in his head, instead of eyes; his mouth was made of an old broken rake, and was, of course, furnished with teeth.
He had been brought into existence amidst the joyous shouts of boys, the jingling of sleigh-bells, and the slashing of whips.
The sun went down, and the full moon rose, large, round, and clear, shining in the deep blue.
This is how the fairy tale, The Snowman, by HC Andersen begins. Now you have to find the fairy tale and answer some questions:
