The Troll 67 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hello, all, from your friendly Fort troll.If you've never heard of me, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Norm, aka The Troll.Why am I called The Troll? Well, it's a long story. Let's just say that I tend to express some rather...controversial opinions. I have a tendency to say what I think, and sometimes that rankles some feathers!Anyway, I am who I am and I want to do a little experiment. You're invited along for the ride.This is a departure from the conventional trip report. What I'm about to do here is present a photo essay consisting of pictures I took around the Fort during the Troll family's last visit in February. I took several hundred photos, and I'd like to share them with you. But unlike the conventional trip report, there will be no running commentary. Just pictures and captions.All the pictures I'll show you were taken around the Fort. I've added a caption to each picture, sort of like how abstract artists title their paintings. See if you can figure out where each picture was shot and the meaning of each caption.Now a word before we begin. If you haven been reading along TCD's latest trip report and his first posted here at this site, you know that Mr. TCD has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged me to a trip report duel. I have accepted his challenge; however, this photo essay is not my entry into said duel. I am preparing a full conventional trip report for later this year that will blow TCD's entry out of the water.Until then, I hope you enjoy this experiment!On with the show:S'mores CookerS'Mores Cooker FuelHomeHammock ViewHangin' AroundOne Happy TrollTroll's Best FriendRusty StreakAt the SettlementNo Kenny's AllowedHanging PalmsFall in FloridaUnder the BladesNature's NooseWhere's the Closest Lowe's?Should Be Rustier?Lost in the WeedsMoon Over a Forgotten WindmillThemingHidden Mickey?Saying CheeseChowingLong BranchesRiver Country RemnantSo...how do you like it so far?
