Troll Sightings within Trollheim and the Pine Barrens

Brooksbrae Terracotta Factory, Pasadena section of Whiting

A short-lived terracotta factory turned graffiti park. Gramps has been seen there on several occasions meeting Big Rusty, who brings him paint from the old pottery factory in Hainesport. They left you a gift to find at (39.8895954, -74.4421081) 87F7VHQ5+R5. They just ask you to put it back. Take something from inside, or leave a token. Just follow his footprints leading to the treasure.

Jersey Pines Poultry in Whiting

This is where Pops manicures his bonsai pitch pine trees into a fabulous garden within this old Leni Lenape burial ground. Look for the ruins of the hotel that once stood here along with the carriage house, barn, and atrium. Just outside of the atrium where the giant blueberry trees grow, you will see where Karl told Gramps to have a seat under the holly tree. Have you ever sat under a holly tree... It doesn't feel good.

You can still see Gramps' footprints (https://maps.app.goo.gl/dz5srWT8oononZAr8) as he got up to chase Karl. You can also find another treasure in the atrium before the swamp. Please, we ask you to be respectful and place it back again as you found it. Write something in Karl's journal, take a gift, or leave one at : 39°55'41.4"N 74°22'01.6"W 39.928169, -74.367096.

Using Google Maps to search for the location by pasting the coordinates is the easiest. Load it first and hit directions before you leave, just in case you lose cellphone connection.

Gramps and Karl Stealing Blueberries in Whitesbog

Mrs. White first cultivated blueberries here, made the little fruit baskets out of cedar she invented. Besides the blueberries, there are extensive cranberry bogs here that look fabulously red in the fall. Up by the Sunigive house is an amazing garden walk. At the mouth of the trail, you can see where Karl began running away from Gramps after he played a trick on him (N 39° 57.605' W 074° 30.424'). Further within, under the Troll bridge, if it didn't float toward the house, is another treasure.

Hiking with Trolls at Double Trouble

This is the historic village of Double Trouble. First, there was a sawmill here. After they cleared enough space, they flooded the region for the cranberry bogs. It gets its name because the beavers broke their dam, not once, but twice. Gramps fishes the creek and bogs here for the secret Pine Barren crawdads. Just after the bridge, you can see his footprints he left after carrying a heavy basket of crawdads home one day. There was a treasure here, but the bad trolls destroyed it too many times, so Gramps ate them. I'm not saying if he ate the crawdads or not...

Here are the coordinates for his footprints: 39.893626, -74.225620. Well, at the crossroads, just before you make the turn here.
