It all started on a snowy December afternoon. JEDEYE and I had spent part of the morning snow scooping away the previous night’s snow and were looking for something to watch on TV to pass the afternoon. We came across something called “Trollhunter”. It was made in Norway and the English was dubbed in. It wasn’t going to win any Academy Award but it was a pretty good time killer.
The story was about this guy that worked for T.S.S. (Troll Security Service), a very secret government agency. He would travel around the country in his vehicle looking for out of control trolls. He was armed with a high powered light gun and his vehicle had another high powered light mounted on top.
I wasn’t aware but evidently if you blast a troll with very bright light they turn to stone! Once they were turned to stone he would blow them up and turn them into a pile of rocks. This was a very secret agency and that was the way they kept the secret of the trolls from the general population. If one of these trolls killed any people the agency had a supply of large bears and they would bring in a dead one and blame the human carnage on it.
This got us thinking. There appear to be several troll remnants in our area so grab your GPS and your bright flashlight – just for safety - and head out.
Head up old Rt 8 heading towards Catherine Creek trailhead. Continue on past the trailhead about 1/2 mile to the Trail 30 parking area on your left. Head just up the hill to the remnants of either a very large troll or several small ones. Cache is medium small lock and lock with goodies and an unactivated geocoin for FTF.
