An easy find in Capen Hill Nature Sanctuary (be sure to read
this entire page to get credit for your find!). A traditional
cache with a twist. Can YOU pay at the troll bridge? No dogs on the
grounds, the troll eats ‘em alive. We suggest NOT posting your
online log until you have the Troll's toll prepared. He really
will eat your online log alive (smiley and all) without the
toll.
Open 10 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. most days, no fee to enter. No hunting is
allowed here, ever, so it's safe to hike here even during hunting
season. Closed after dark.
TRIP … TRAP… TRIP… TRAP … TRIP… TRAP
HEY! UP THERE! WHO-O-O-O-O Walks on my bridge?????
Argh, this is MY bridge, you boney little human. And you think you
can cross it? Anyone crossing my bridge to get to the green pasture
has to pay the troll first! Yes, humans, to pay me you must DO the
password first. That’s right, DO it. Not say it, but DO it. Or I
shall eat yer for breakfast with my bare tooth! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
What is the password? Argh. I’ll let yer pass if yer has a tattoo.
I won’t dare eat anyone with a tattoo. Tastes like leather. Gets
stuck between my tooth. Got a tattoo? You can pass my bridge.
This is it, so listen up: Post a picture of your tattoo your
online log here. It must be a real tattoo -- no wimpy temporary
tattoo pictures. And don’t just post it, --also ‘splain WHY
you got it or what it means. Then yer may pass to the green grass
beyond my bridge. Got that?
So here’s me rules:
1) Find me stash
2) Sign the log
3) Post me the tattoo picture here online
4) Explain the tat's purpose
5) And your post will survive the trip o’er the bridge. Trip trap
trip trap trip.
*Snort* I’ll be waitin’ fer yer, puny human.
A secret note from the Billy Goats Gruff:
Baa-aa-aaa-aa-aa-aah. Shhhh….we found a troll loophole. If you
don’t have a tattoo of your own, find someone who does. With 16% of
the population wearing at least one tattoo, you know someone who
does! Get a picture of it, tell us who they are (no names
necessary, just tell us how you know ‘em) and explain why THEY got
it or what it means – yeah, that means you have to ask them
questions & get a picture of it, no exceptions or he won’t let
you pass).
No internet-gleaned tattoo pictures allowed, though. He gobbles
those right up like snake eyes and newt hearts pickled in frog-egg
brine.
Any log listed with no picture will be laser-removed by the
terrible, temperamental troll. And THAT’s how he eats ‘em for
breakfast – the tattoo-free, juicy ones. You’ve got up to one week
to post your picture or ZIP ZAP ZOOP! You’re breakfast. Raw
on a stick. Mmmmm. Tastes just like chicken.
Container is an ammo can filled with temporary tattoos and a few
doo-dads (a few donated by the generous director of Capen Hill who
gave us her blessing for this cache placement).
Keep it dry. Temporary tattoos get all squidgy if they get wet
