Geocache Description:

This cache is part of an international cache exchange with blazius from Norway. It's sister cache is Kringelen Krow Klub.

Denne cachen er en del av en internasjonal cache-utveksling med blazius fra Norge. Søstercachen er Kringelen Krow Klub.

This cache is located in Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary, one of the newest additions to the Saint Paul Parks system, located at the base of the bluffs of Indian Mounds Regional Park. There is convenient parking fairly close to the cache site. Please use stealth when retrieving. I can't imagine too much of an issue right now, as this park isn't known all that well (it's so new there isn't a park sign yet), and is still undergoing improvements. Initial contents of the cache are items from Norway, as provided by blazius, and all the items have explanation tags written by him.

This is possibly the first such cache to show up in Minnesota, I got the idea from the national forums, and hope it will catch on, as I feel it's a great way to explore other countries (short of visiting them) as well as Minnesota's immigrant heritage (as we all know, a good percentage of Minnesota settlers came from Norway and Sweden).

Please make sure to reseal the cache and cover it as well or better than you found it. And thanks for visiting!

Norwegian Translation:

Cachen er plassert ved foten av klippene i Indian Mounds Regional Park, nærmere bestemt i Bruce Vento naturreservat som nylig har blitt innlemmet i Saint Pauls parkanlegg. Det er gode parkeringsmuligheter ganske nært gjemmestedet. Unngå å påkalle unøding oppmerksomhet fra geogomper når du leter etter cachen. Dette er neppe et stort problem foreløpig, siden parken er lite kjent og fremdeles er under utbygging (den er så ny at den ikke er skiltet). Da cachen ble lagt ut inneholdt den forskjellige norske gjenstander som blazius skaffet til veie. Alle disse gjenstandene har en lapp som forklarer hva gjenstanden er.

Dette er antagelig den første utvekslings-cachen i Minnesota. Jeg fikk idéen fra de nasjonale diskusjonsgruppene, og håper at fenomenet vil bre om seg. Jeg mener dette er en flott måte å bli kjent med andre land (bortsett fra å besøke dem) og Minnestoas immigrant-arv (som vi alle vet, kom en stor andel av Minnesotas bosettere fra Norge og Sverige).

Vær så snill å lukke cachen skikkelig, og dekk den til så den er like usynlig som da du fant den. Takk for besøket!
