By the river

Went passed a small soldiers hut from the 15th century, by a river ended up on the beach where we had a fire and som marshmallows 😄 great day indeed 😄

Ski jumping

Today I tock the family out for a search in the wild. We visited the skijumping slope in our town. The cach was published a couple of days ago and I was curious about the location.I hadn't been there since I was a cild myself so I was really looking forward to it. We tock the car and once again I made a note about getting a four-wheel drive car :-(  A jeep would be nice :-) The road was narrow and bumby but we got up the mountain and get out of the car.
When we got closer three young men with phones in their hands hurried up the hill, couldn´t tell properly
but one looked like he had a Gps ;-)
When we arrived they backed away and sat at the top of the slope while we started our climb.
It was kind of steap and there was a lot of rocks but eventually we found the cach under a rock behind two big stones. Clever and could have been hard to find if we hadn't looked at the right place straight away.
After signing we went up the stairs to watch the view.
The weather was perfect. Sunny and hot for April, last year at this time we still had snow.

The boys in the family signed together, the youngest one wrote in his own language but we translated the log so it´s understandable for all. It says "we walked in the forest"

Junk

Yesterday we went to a nearby town to have lunch with friends. On our way home we passed a rusty car outside Motorgårn. This is a place where raggare hang out. Raggare is a Swedish subculture you can read more about the Raggars at Wikipedia. My daughter found it real Quick and we logged and went on our way.

Starting up

I don't know why we started this but somehow the caches just got to us.
After a short presentation in a childrens program on Tv we decíded to get out and find ourselves a
cache. That was 22 March 2014. Not a month ago but still it feals like we have been doing this forever.

We got the introapp for Iphone, thanks for that, without it I am not sure we would have lifted us up from the sofa to get out there ;-) Found a beginners cach nearby and went looking. We couldn't find it....
And it was supposed to be easy.....You bet....
It´s hidden at a special place near our river where people used to change their outfit before taking a swim in the icy water. It has ben abandoned for some time and not in it´s best state. The windows are smashed, the paint is falling off the walls and there are trash all over the place. You could tell by the smell that someone has been doing his or her thing inside...
I brought my kids, they were a bit chicken-hearted at first because of condition of the place but after some time they joined in. But we didn't find it....and went home...

1 week 3 visits and 11 other caches later we finally found the container and logged it :-)
