Over the summer of 2003 the cache was reported stolen by various
visitors. In July 2003 Nic and Anneke B. from the Netherlands were
so kind to place a new cache container to replace the original
stolen one. Thanks, Nic and Anneke for keeping this cache alive!
The new cache is a round plastic container measuring
approximately 14 centimeters in diameter. It contains a logbook and
pencil (both must remain in the cache) and a Dutch souvenir tile of
the 'Zaanse Schans'.
We've hidden the cache while on vacation in Northern Norway, and
thus will not be able to regularly check the cache, which is
located about 1900 kilometers from our home in the Netherlands! We
therefore rely on other visiting geocachers to more or less
"maintain" the cache and take good care of it. Please hide the
cache again exactly as you found it and cover it well, so that it
will not be accidentally discovered by non-geocachers.
Deep snow cover might make it impossible to find the cache, so
this might be a summer-only cache. But if you're in the
neighbourhood, don't hesitate to give it a try in winter also!
Please take good care of this beautiful area. Except when
there's snow, there's no digging needed to find the cache.
If you found the cache, please let us know the condition the
cache is in. If you're not going to log your visit on
www.geocaching.com (which we do prefer though), please let us know
that you found the cache by e-mailing us at
polaris@worldmail.nl
Good luck and Happy Hunting!
