cervisvenator: 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.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it 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,

Geocache Description:

I 1864 fikk Drammen sitt første regulære brannkorps med 18 fast ansatte. I 1865 ble den første brannstasjonen oppført i Gropa, Øvre storgate 67. Dette var altså byens brannstasjon da den store bybrannen brøt ut 12.juli 1866. Ikke til å undres at 388 bygninger brant ned mellom Waagardsløkka og Brakerøya. Bygningen tilhører i dag Drammen museum og fremstår dessverre som nedtagget og ganske forfallen. Den gamle brannstasjonen ligger fint til ved elvebredden og kun få minutters spasertur fra Bragernes torg. Veien går oppover øvre storgate hvor mange av de gamle husene er i god og original stand. -------------------------------------------------- The first official fire brigade in Drammen was established in 1864. The first fire station was built in “Gropa”, Øvre storgate 67, in 1865. No wonder 388 buildings on Bragernes burned to the ground when the grate city fire started July 12th 1866. Today the building belongs to Drammen museum and is unfortunately in pretty bad condition. The old fire station is located in nice surroundings close to the bank of the Drammen river and only a few minutes walk from the Bragernes main square. On the way up Øvre storgate you will pass through an old part of the city with many well preserved buildings.
