Cradle of Hurtigruten 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This cache has been archived.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:

This cache is located at Stokmarknes - the place where Hurtigruten (the Norwegian Costal Steamer) was born.

The cache is located near the Coastal Steamer Museum (Hurtigrutemuséet). If you are passing by with the costal steamer, about 30 minutes should be sufficient to find this cache, including the walk to and from your ship. Please wear sensible shoes and dark trousers.

The cache is a spacious plastic box with room for even largish travel bugs and other trading items. Its initial contents were some Hurtigruten souvenirs, some rubber fish, two travel bugs, and of course a logbook (waterresistant) and a pencil.

The cache should be available all year, but it should not be attempted in very harsh weather! Please ensure that you aren't spotted by nearby muggles while you retrieve and replace the container. Please use the built-in magnets to secure the box in its proper place.
