Challenge #20 - Garnås Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Makuta Teridax: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Due to lack of response from the owner, this cache is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Makuta Teridax

Geocache Description:

650 million years ago a big meteorite with a 2-300 m diameter struck this area. A 5 km diameter crater was produced by the enormous amount of energy established by the impact who can be compared to thousands of nuclear bombs.
It is possible to drive in to the centre of the crater. This makes Gardnos Meteorite Crater to one of the worlds best accessible meteoerite craters.

The original bedrock in the area was fractured and a powder of crushed rocks was forced in to all the fractures. This is the origin of the peculiar rock in this area.

The Gardnos Meteorite Crater has two exciting trails through great nature, with information boards showing the unique geology of the area. In addition, a Kids' Trail promises fun for the children. It is recommended that visitors buy a pocket guide before entering the trails.

This is a traditional cache, containing logbook and pencil, and small things to trade.
