Geocache Description:

A simple two-step cache in a new part of Oslo.


Lots of folks have been wondering what the fox says. But in this unfair universe, the moose is much overlooked as always, and few, except geocachers like you, ever care what the moose says.
So, what does this moose say? First, he may tell you that he is not a moose at all, but rather Rudolph's tech-interested cousin. But then he's not quite that kind of creature, either.
Let's just agree that this animal is a work of art and its exact nature is in the eye of the beholder. He's certainly not a fox, although he dwells in hole with two openings and he may have a foxy message for those seeking his Christmas Eve cache.
Keep in mind that most wild animals are elusive and can be hard to track down. You are seeking its company in a dense urban jungle and your GPS may not be all that helpful. But you will find the beast, and when you do, you'll know you're in the right place. There's no animal like this anywhere on Earth.
Walk up to this king of the urban forest to pay your respect, and he will reward you by whispering a two digit number. Actually, he knows many numbers but you just want the two-digit one. Hint: Bottom line left, and the sum of the two digits is 12. Subtract this number from 508 to get the north coordinate. Subtract it from 228 to get the east coordinate.

2023 UPDATE: Although these buildings were built just recently, they are now undergoing extensive repairs. For this reason, Rudolph is out of reach for geocachers. Until the work is completed, you will find his information by studying the photo below.
