Welcome
to our website on Troll Spotting. My family and I setup this site
in order to have some fun Geocaching. For those who do not know
what Geocaching is, I suggest that you check out the site: www.Geocaching.com.
The site can explain what it is better that I could. The general
idea is that you can use things such as a GPS
or compass
to locate boxes called caches that are placed around the world.
It sort of is like taking a hike, but with a hide and seek type
twist. It can be very entertaining. |
The idea of this site
is to track our Troll GeoCaches and our Traveling Trolls. We did not
feel that there was enough space on Geocaching.com for all the info
that we wanted to include. It is a great site, but it does have it's
limits. Tracking Trolls being one of them.
| Our
very first Troll that we placed was called King
Tuk. It is a puzzle cache. It was also designed for the Boy
Scouts and is located somewhere at Camp
Squanto. There are hints around the camp that allow you to locate
the Troll and we have a section on this site that will help you
further. Hopefully the Scouts will have the skills to find King
Tuk. It also can be found using just a compass for those Scouts
without a GPS. King Tuk was hidden by my son Andrew. |

The
next two Trolls that we have hidden were placed around Ponkapoag
over in the Blue Hills. They are sibs Prince
Tux and Princess Tiara.
They are not hard to find, and the walk around the lake is very
scenic. My whole family helped set these up and the girls really
had a great time picking out the Trolls, so much so that they did
not want to give them up:} |
We are planning on creating
a bunch of Travel Trolls, which are very much like Travel Bugs, but
will be tracked on this site. We hope that people will log anytime they
find one here. We shall send them off to different adventures and hopefully
most will complete their journey without getting lost.
The concept of the Travel
Trolls and Troll Spotting are not limited to just our family. We are
opening this up to anyone who wants to do it. We are not charging you
to use this site. If you create a GeoCache with a Troll base theme,
please let us know and we will ad it to the site for tracking. You can
even track your Travel Trolls. If you have any questions about this,
please let us know. Just pop us an email.
