Geocache Description:

Mystery of the of the Troll's Treasure??
How about how WZBT03 forced me to tell him the secret of how to find my silver and emeralds. I suppose in a small way it is my own fault for letting him catch me and force the first clue out of me. So if you decide to hunt for my treasure - goodluck because I doubt anyone ever finds it. These are my last words on the issue - the rest is from the files of wzbt03!


Yes its true! At one of my caches (J.S.O.L.) I had something breaking into it all the time and eating the logbook - very strange. After receiving numerous reports of it being open I decided to find out what was causing it.
I camoflauged myself with leaves and bark and hid near the cache with camera ready. Low and behold it appeared (see attached picture). After snapping a picture I reached out and grabbed the little bugger! It fought hard and he was a wily little beast. Finally the troll stuck out his jaw and asked what I wanted now that I had caught him. My reply was out before I could catch my breath - "I want your treasure!!".
The troll laughed and I squeezed a bit harder. He cried out that I was squeezing the juice right out of him and to please stop. All right he yelled - I will tell you the secret of how to find it.......and with that he told me the following clues and then bit my thumb and ran off screaming that it did not matter if I had the clues - I would never find his treasure!!!!!

It is marked by brass plates for the first seven stops and they are quite well hidden.

Stop 1 - Your vehicle will park here (the above coordinates) and you must find the first brass plate within 5 ft. of the parking lot. For the closet parking you would need a special plate.
Most will never get past this first clue but if you stand under the arch and look at the sign that says nothing you will find gold behind it.

Stop 2 - Trees come in Threes and their bark is worse than their bite.

Stop 3 - When the fence levels out, be careful or you will shout. The bush lets you in but not out with the win.

Stop 4 - Storms break off trees so be careful near these.

Stop 5 - ** At this location the troll has been playing games with us - proceed west on the main trail from this spot to the following clue location **
Stand in the middle of what Trolls like best and look west for a dead halfling who holds the clue where the morning sun does not shine.

Stop 6 - Shaggy is my bark look west and yell Hark! Be careful how you grab it or your tetnus will need updating.

Stop 7 - Tis time to rest - I am sure it will come to you where the only non-metal clue is.

Final Cache - When rocks stick to rocks, I guess you have outfoxed.

That is the clues I had to go on. If you try this one be prepared to spend at least a couple of hours, days or weeks - whatever it takes.
