The story about a miller in the lawless land a long time ago.

Mr Lindal was a miller and ground flour at the Lindala mill for the farmers who lived in the villages Aramo, Buskaboda and Hätteboda etc. The farmers were getting suspicious as some fluor disappeared every grounding. And then one day they decided to give the miller a going over. It went a little too far, so the miller died. The case was never brought up in court. The farmers put the body in a waggon and it was hastely brougt to the church in Urshult  and buried.

Retribution was called for, and the farmers agreed that two oxen would be enough payment for the manslaughter That was the end of that story.

"Large" power station for one farm.

 The turbine and the parapet.

In magical surroundings amongst large pine trees and moss covered stones, there lies Magnis' power station. With an enormous energy Magni built his power station on his property. It was a dam and an enormous parapet for his small household, situated in Aramo village about one kilometer from the power staion. However he never got the parapet properly waterthight and therefore leeking and energy disturbance followed. But it was said that he could have one lamp and the radio on at the same time although the light was a bit flickerish.

The block field is composed of rocks and stones in the stream bed from Bäckaskoga göl. The rocks ( larger than 20 centimetre in cross section) and the stones (2 - 20 centrimetre) where once transported by the inland ice that with a powerful flow of melted water took sand and gravel with it, leaving only larger stones. This dates back to 11 000 years ago. The effect of frost after a long time pushed the rocks and stones further out of the earth and have formed a layer  of round stones pushed and rubbed together. They are called boulders and have given name to the boulder ridges in Sweden. Cracked and edgy rocks are formed by frost and cold weather.

In the summer you can not see any water but you can hear ripple's of water under the stones. The source of the water comes from lake Arasjön.

The almost 25 metre long tarry dale finishes with a large parapet.

Tar burning is made in a, so called, tar dale. It is usually has a funnel like shape and is dug in slope as you can see in the drawing. This tar dale however, like most of the tar dales in Småland, is constructed like a furrow, in a slope (see picture above). The bottom is covered with beach bark, spruce bark and wood chips so that the tar can run to the parapet. There is a hole there, closed with a wooden plug. When the tar is ready  the plug is taken away and the tar is collected in barrels.

To make tar you need  resiny woods from old pine-trees, or old stubs. To make the wood more resiny you took the off the bark from a living tree from the bottom and as high up as you could reach exept on the north side where a ten to twenty cm string of bark was left in place. The pine-tree was thus kept alive and the place where you had taken the bark off became very resiny and that was the only part of the tree you used to make tar.

The pine-wood was then chopped into smaller parts and was pile up in the dale. Then it was covered with turf which made it easier to control the amount of oxygen. After that the wood was set on fire and the tar is sweated out after a while and runs to the parapet and is collected in barrels. A by- product from tar burning is charcoal, which was said to be especialy suitable for forgeing.
