Geocache Description:

A short climb up the hill to some large troll remains.


He was the youngest son of the Mongous clan, a strapping lad named Hugh.  He was always large for his age and occasionally the target of teasing by smaller, faster trolls because of his size.  As with a lot of young adults he thought he was indestructable but obviously that was not the case.  This cache is a celebration of the life of Hugh Mongous.

To get to the cache site head up Old Highway 8 towards Catherine Creek. Just before you get up on top there is a pull off to the left next to a large black mailbox.  There is a signpost just up the hill telling you that it is Trail 005. Go around the gate and follow a trail up to the right. There is a bit of poison oak along the trail but it is easy to miss. Climb up thru the rocks to the cache. it is medium sized lock and lock full of goodies with an unactivated geocoin for FTF. Check picture for spoiler hint.
