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.
I consulted the Troll DNA Database but couldn't get anything definite. There appears to be thousands and thousands of phalanges in the area.
Head up the hill on old Rt 8 towards Catherine Creek Trailhead. Just before you get to the top there is a house and vinyard on the right and a pull off with a black mailbox on a post on the left. Grab you hiking sticks and some water and head up. It is about 1/2 mile of mostly up. There is some poison oak along the trail but you can miss it. Cache is a medium lock and lock with goodies and unactivated geocoin for FTF. Cache is in a tub of rocks.
