All right, folks, so there you have it -- he admits it! He drinks cheap lite beer! And he made fun of me for drinking pina coladas! Let's continue with our photo journey: Bankrupt by Kenny Through t

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

I really appreciate all the positive feedback I've been getting! Thanks, everyone! Now let's continue... Kenny's Bane Tired of Replacing Fence Posts Please Never Change Just Hangin' Out What Was

Norm- I remember you from Voldemort and am glad you found us! :banana: Your "snarkiness" will be expected on this board. So will your controversial attitude. This place was made for you <_< well, that may be taking it too far because it was really made for "Doodlebug the Super Poster" - but I'm sure you'll catch up!

Thanks for (1) having such a creative mind and taking such unique pictures, and (2) sharing them with the likes of us!!

Between you, TCD, and DaveInTN, we are going to be supplied with endless entertainment! :partythree:

Maybe so Deb, but my entertainment is best appreciated in person.....Ohhhh-HANA!!!! I havent yet figured out the internet conveyance yet. Norm can supply us with beautiful pics of the Fort so we can not only get our Fort fix, but can gain a new perspective on the Fort. Great photos Norm! Really enjoying these.

Norm!

EXCELLENT!

Your photos and your captions are great!

For anyone wondering whether or not Norm is an OK guy, you need look no further than the photo of Norm with his best friend.

If Zoey thinks Norm is a swell guy, then who am I to argue?

And as far as I can tell, Mrs. Troll likes him too.

As for our duel, my intent was for this to be a friendly competition. There will be no winner or loser. We will all win. I believe in giving a man his due, and you have already shown that you can write a great trip report.

So, bring it Troll!

This site is really coming together with the new additions. Tony and Todd are filling up the pic of the day threads regularly and we have trip reports from some great storytellers. Glad you came aboard Norm. Hope you can stop by the 4th of July to say hey if you're not already coming to the fort.

Great pictures, the only winner between you & TCD would be us, and I want to say thank you to the both of you because you fill the void for all of us that are to far to get to the Fort often.

Good morning, everyone! I'm so happy for the positive reviews! To tell the truth, when I signed up, I really didn't know if I'd be welcome here. So glad everyone is so friendly.

Now let's have some fun with comments.

I can see them now!!

Gotta say Norm, I LOVE this idea and your photos are simply amazing!

Thanks so much for coming out of your troll cave (LOL) and sharing this with us.

Looking forward to the rest of the TR!

Yeah, the cave (and under the bridge) get kind of lonely. Even a troll has to come out and socialize!

Great Pics Norm! Love the unusual angles, neat way to look at the Fort in a new way. Where is that abandoned windmill? Don't remember seeing it.

The abandoned windmill is in the grassy area in front of the Pioneer Hall, very close to the blacksmith shop. If you didn't know it was there, you'd miss it. It now just looks like a dead tree with vines all over it.

Great pics Norm, but I still like man's best friend the best :heart: .......was it Zoe?

Yep! Zoe's her name. And she's still the star of this show.

Thanks for the encouraging words. You know, a very wise man once said, "You don't light a lamp and then hide it under a bowl." It's nice to be able to take pictures and share them with folks who enjoy them.

Thos are beautiful pictures - Welcome Norm!

Thanks, it's nice to be here!

Norm!

Friendly competition? Of course! No winner or loser?! Hold the phone! I like to be able to talk smack, like this: TCD drinks cheap beer!

Donnie, unfortunately Mrs. Troll and I will not be at the Fort in July. You know why? Because you're crazy to camp at FW in July! I've said it before and I'll say it again -- anyone who camps at FW between June and September is crazy! I mean, I love the Fort and all, but I'm no masochist.

Great pictures, the only winner between you & TCD would be us, and I want to say thank you to the both of you because you fill the void for all of us that are to far to get to the Fort often.

I love trip reports. The first trip reports I read were TCD's and Lil' Lisa's and from there I was hooked.

I love this little friendly competition. Especially because the only winners are US!!

I'm very competitive. I'm going to have one of those pro wrestling championship belts made up for the winner.

soooooooooo glad your here! I throughly enjoyed your first trip report. The pop stories and all! Awesome pic's to! :banana:

I'm glad to be here, too. Thanks so much for the warm welcome. I'm really happy you enjoyed all the stories. Some of the happiest days of my life were at the Fort.

OK, now let's get back to the show!

Love love love the pictures. My husband never understood why I stop and take a picture of the moss growing on a stump or an old fence, then I put them in a photo show. They are a wonderful perspective! Thanks for sharing and welcome!!
