We set out to create a “Hobbit” themed series of caches, (because the hobby/sport just wasn’t nerdy enough – right?). This series will challenge your Geocaching stamina. The round trip is nearly 6.5 miles of paddling. You will be in and out of your vessel several times. You will encounter briars, poison ivy, stingy nettles, bugs and creepy crawly things, mud and muck, tree roots, and all the other hazards that go along with water caching. Dark places and beyond. Coordinates in creek banks can be tricky sometimes so please let us know if you encounter them to be way off. Most of the caches are in logical spots, depending on your definition of logical. Have fun, we had a great time creating this series. We paddle here at least once a season and you never know what you will encounter. There are owls where you least expect them, furry critters that swim, slide, stare at you in disbelief, bolt from you and startle you. Avian flyers of all types., and oh did we mention bugs? Sounds like the perfect Hobbit environment!
"THE TROLLS, BERT, TOM & WILLIAM"
- are three trolls who capture the dwarves, with intent to make Bilbo and his crew their dinner, but they are bewitched by Gandalf and the sunlight petrifies them into dead stone. (Placed in an area of the paddle that can accumulate stagnate water- a good place for a troll.)
You will find The Trolls where the water slows and the brackish pool always stagnates. A Small camo covered container.
