Troll Den Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

k1ayman: This cache was hidden over 10 years ago, long before the park added the rails (assumably to prevent erosion under the bridge). As such, I am officially archiving this cache, but the troll will remain [;)]

Always sad to see one go, especially one of my first hides. Thanks to everyone who endured the GZ to make the find.

Fun fact: There have been 2 cache containers at GZ for several years now (because one time I couldn't find the original during a check up). Both were placed strategically to mimic one of the bridge's bolts. I wonder which one you found!

Geocache Description:

A nano cache hidden deep inside one of Belmont's great recreational areas.

Twin Pines Park is home to many of Belmont's organizations including its Historical Society Museum, Parks and Recreation offices, Senior Center, Community Center and now...my first hidden cache. The abundance of trees provide great shade for summer picnics and BBQs. You are looking for a magnetic nano cache. The title of this post should point you in the right direction if the tree cover is giving skewed gps readings. Once you get in the prime position/elevation, spotting the cache should be a cinch for those familiar with this type. Please bring your own pen. Sadly, no room for trade items on this one.

Note: The park is closed from Sunset to Sunrise.

07/29/10: I've finally decided to increase the difficulty rating by 1-star. This cache can become quite evil, especially when not hidden back in its correct position (in plain sight).
