Fossumbekken 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This cache has been archived.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.

I have earlier asked about the plans for this cache. 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:

Velkommen til Fossumbekken! / Welcome to Fossumbekken!

Dette er en av Oslo's glemte bekker. Det er egentlig heller ikke så mye igjen av den. Det meste av den går nå i rør.
I dette området renner bekken åpen helt ned til Grorud hvor den møter Alna elva.
Det er bygd tur sti som går langs bekken med to broer.
Alt i alt kunne dette vært et veldig fint og koselig sted.
Desverre er det alt for mange som bruker området til å dumpe søppel. Trist!

In English:
This is one of Oslo's forgotten stream's. It's actually not much left of it. Most of this stream runs now underground.
In this area however the Fossumbekken runs in the open all the way down to Grorud where it joins the Alna stream.
There is a trail that runs along the Fossumbekken with two bridges. This could realy have been a nice place. However too many people use this area to dump their garbage. It's sad!
