Grua is the palce of our oldest Norwegian ancestors. Jens Olsen was born in Grua, Norway in 1679. His son Ole Jenson and his son Jens Olson also lived in Grua. I hope the bikers took a photo or two.

Going to Church in Jevnaker

Latest news Sunday August 2nd
Text Hi Grandpa
Going to Jevnaker Church with Maria and Ragnild. Will call later
Grandpa Gilbertson is thrilled and I am sure all Norwegians in Montevideo will hear about the Gilbertson grandsons going to church in Norway. Back in 1995 Grandma and Grandpa visited Norway and stayed with Ragnild and Maria. They were treated with much hospitality and it looks like Matthew and Eric are being treated nice in Norway.

I am a couple of days behind due to being in PA visiting. Eric called on Saturday and talked with Grandma Wright. She had seen a few photos of the bikers and pronouned them in great shape. "They don't look like they are worse for the wear. They look like they are doing great and in great shape when they raise their arms. Grandma asked about food and Eric told her they eat a bunch of granola for breakfast and eat about three times their normal amount of food each day. On Saturday they had re entered Norway. Grandpa Gilbertson said, "Oh Ya, Now they will be all right . Sweden can't help that they aren't Norwegians." On Tuesday the text said, "Camping near Dovre on Langen River, No fish yet.Plan to get to base of high point tmrw.
Here is a map. It looks like about 60 miles. Cousin Arnie Nokleby will alert the relatives in Jevnaker that the bikers are getting close.
