Geocache Description:


Debellation refers to the complete and utter destruction of a hostile state or warring party, signifying the end of conflict through complete military defeat and the loss of sovereignty. It implies a situation where a belligerent nation has been so decisively conquered that its national institutions are shattered and no longer exist to challenge the victor.

A Viking saga is a prose narrative, typically written in Old Norse and preserved in Icelandic manuscripts, that recounts historical or legendary events of the Viking Age and surrounding periods.

In Norse mythology, Naglfar or Naglfari (Old Norse "nail farer") is a boat made entirely from the fingernails and toenails of the dead. During the events of Ragnarök, Naglfar is foretold to sail to Vígríðr, ferrying hordes of monsters that will do battle with the gods.

Naglfar is attested in both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda. In the Poetic Edda, Naglfar is mentioned in the poem Völuspá. In the poem, a deceased völva foretells that the ship will arrive with rising waters, carrying Hrym and Loki and with them a horde of others.

Ragnarök is a Norse myth about the end of the world, involving a series of cataclysmic events and a final battle between the gods and giants. The term comes from Old Norse and means "fate of the gods" or "twilight of the gods".

There is road side parking available for this cache. If you plan to do the entire series it might be better to cross the ditch here and walk the rest on flat ground.
