Geocache Description:

This cache is hidden a few meters from an old "Tømmerlunning" place.


Where the old Lunne used to be.


This "Lunne" was placed on the south banks of Nitelva

A"Lunne" is an area where you heap up timberlogs for further transportation.

They worked the timberlogs to the riverbanks using horses. Then in spring when the river flooded, they released "Lunna" in the river for easy and inexpencive transportation to a sawmill.

1970 was the last year any timber was worked down this river.

There is no longer any traces of this "Lunne". The story is told to me by Doghairman.

After 1970 they had no use for this "Lunning" place, so they plantet German sprouce. Which had poor economic value as it grew to many twiggs.

The only lumberjack left is a bever living some 200 meters east of the cache.

The cache itself is a 2 liter icecreambox wrapped in a green plastic bag. It contains a a logbook, infonote, coordinates for and a variety of tradable things.

TB "horse with no name" is here wating for someone to help him to MORA,Sweden.

The horse is on now the run again, but TB The Noid needs a ride further away.

The Noid has left the cache. New recident is Eight Ball waiting for some honymooners to pick it up

Eightball is in the (someones) pocket

Parking possibilities near Ringnes.
