Heyhey Margaretha
Super to hear of your memories in Svartisdal! I certainly have so much that I enjoyed and learned from that area. I knew three generations of Svartisdal, Anton, Arnold and Gjaer.
I wonder if the Mount Rainier cabin still stands 🤷🏼‍♂️

I have read your interesting stories about Anton Svartisdal.
I started to google his name and so I found your stories.
Just wanted to share my story.
Yesterday I saw a documentary about a man who was camping with a roof tent with a wonderful view towards Mount Rainier in USA.
This name reminded me of a trip mum, dad and myself took in July 1971. I was 12 years old.
We drove from our home in the southern part of Sweden all the way up to northern Norway.
I have now read my mothers diary that summer. Our first stop in Norway was Svartisen. My dad was always facinated by glaciers, a must to visit Svartisen!
So we did and met Anton on our way to the glacier. He was such a kind man and we had an overnight in his cottage ”Mount Rainier”.
After that visit we often talked about Anton!
Other places we visited in Norway that summer was Mo i Rana, Gronligrottan, the polar circle at Junkerdal, Selbu and Lillehammer.
I was young but I still remember that wonderful tour!
I understand you must have had fantastic tours there!
With kind regards
Margaretha
