GeoCaching 10/10/10


10/10/10 is the date of Groundspeak’s global geocaching challenge. The date is significant because it represents 10 years of geocaching and 10 years of Groundspeak in 2010. Owners of this souvenir were a part of the attempt to break the record of the most geocachers going geocaching on a single day. The previous record was 56,654 accounts logging on April 18, 2010.

I can prowdly say I am a part of this! The caches I visided was Lofoten GC50E2 and Bjerkviking GC11YAV .

If you Geocache and there is something left of your day 10.10.10 you too can be a part of it, and if you miss it there are allot of other caches and advents for you to take part of.

Happy hunting.

Geocaching - Husjordøya

Husjordøya2

The new road to Lofoten opened December 1st 2007. A beautiful area is now made more accessible. The bridge is the first one connecting Lofoten with out taking a ferry. This cache(GC1C6PJ) is placed near one of the signature constructions along this route. Stop for lunch, take some pictures and enjoy the magnificent scenery.

We went there on a wet but beautiful day. The smell of pure air and blooming cloudberries and rowanberries was amazing.

In addition to the great trip we did find the cache and it was some small treasures in it. In some caches you can find small treasures, but if you take something out you must remember to leave something in the box that is equal or of more valour.

A bonus view is the plug moulded in the cement in one of the bridges foundation. If you want to join up and go treasure hunting go to this web page to find more info http://www.geocaching.com
