Geocache Description:

This cache is a camoflaged Folger's coffee container. The terrain is such that it may vary with the season and the wrath of mother nature but generally should be a fairly easy walk.

This is the second cache in a series of caches I am loosely basing on the JRR Tolkien book "The Hobbit" AKA "There And Back Again"
Each Cache in this series will contain a clue that will be necessary to have in order to find a future cache. (designated by a multi-cache icon) It will be beneficial to write down each clue as you find the cache and keep it for future use. I hope to avoid patterns which will make future caches predictable. As all caches are found (not necessarily in order) the clues in them will ultimately lead to a final cache. Remember the placement of these caches is based on my intrepretation of the book -and having to work within the limitations and my knowledge of the local area. I will give a general clue for each cache based on the story.

The second chapter of "The Hobbit" has Bilbo and his friends finding themselves in the company of a trio of Trolls. Now trolls are hard to find in this country so I had to go with early memories and fell back on the story of the "Three Billy Goats Gruff". I, then, searched around the area (a phonebook map can be a wonderful thing) for some thing that would help with this hide, and I found a great area.

My questions for you are:
1. What did the trolls in "The Hobbit" turn into when the sun came up?
2. Where did the 3 goats encounter their troll?

Find one of these and you should be in the area of the
cache!
