The Three Billy Goats Gruff

This is a Norweigan Fairy Tale created by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe published in their book Norske Folkeeventyr between 1841 and 1844. 3 Billy Goats of the Gruff family have run out of good grass to eat in their pasture so they go in search of a new pasture. They hear of a glorious pasture with grass half a foot tall, and wildflowers blooming all about on the other side of the mountian. But to get there, they must cross a bridge which is fiercly guarded by a famished troll. (As all geocachers know well: Trolls like to live under bridges.) To hear the rest of the story and find out what happens you must complete the cache.

Your job is to accompany the Billy Goats Gruff and help them get past the troll and find the new pasture so they can eat their fill. 

Final contains a logbook, pen, hand carved stamp and inkpad in a plastic bag which is not to be removed from the cache. Everything else is SWAG.

 Good luck and Happy Caching.
