100 suns, that is how long a nap is for a troll
when Rita woke again
her mountain side had grown a hole
the humans must have dug them
in their search for shiny rocks
but someone could fall in
so Rita went to tidy up
THOMAS DAMBO
Rita the Rock Planter, is made entirely of recycled wood (palletts) and resides at Little Grouse Mountain in Teller County.
The sculpture, created by artist Thomas Dambo, joins the popular Breckenridge troll as a hiking destination in Colorado’s mountains.
The Teller County troll was unveiled 8/4/23.
Inspired by the gold mines of the town, Dambo designed the sculpture, and its backstory, to be "working."
“Trolls know stones have no legs, so it’s rude to remove one stone from a family of stones, Rita likes to reconnect them and plant them with their family.”
This cache is located past the troll, just out of her sight. You'll walk right past her on your way to this cache. Hopefully she doesn't see you searching and come over here to push these rocks back into the hole.
