Fredrikstadmarka #2# - Smia - The Forge 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This cache has been archived.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

Norwegian:

Dette er andre boks i en serie på seks i Fredrikstadmarka. Her har det blitt brutt mye sten. Arbeidet sysselsatte mange og sporene er tydelige. Stenhuggerne hadde sin egen smie som du vil passere på veien til denne boksen. Smia ble lagt ned så sent som i 1957. Smedens ambolt er plassert utenfor Rolvsøy rådhus.
