Boxing in Mount Horeb


As promised I took Crabby and Holly boxing the next day. We brought along Sarge "the real boxing buddy" to help us. We were pretty excited to be the first finders of the Mount Horeb Troll...but that was not happening...several people had already been to the box! Here we are on the way to the box: Sarge kept breathing on Holly and Crabby and they were really upset. I told them to "cool it, this is like going boxing with 3 year olds!" After that they settled down and we were able to get to the location of the box. At the beginning of the clues we were to see the "Tricycle Troll" so we had to take a picture of us with that! Unfortunately Sarge couldn't climb up on the troll with us we didn't get the whole carving in the picture. You can get the idea though! In this town there are a ton of Trolls all over...it is known as the troll city and there is even a main highway called "the trollway." It has trolls all along it.
After we visited Mount Horeb we went on to Bluemounds. This box is right near "Cave of the Mounds" which is a national treasure. Crabby's Mom has never been there even though she grew up in WI so maybe we will head back that way and explore the caves! That will be really fun!
So we found a fantastic park that our next box was in. The trails were great and you could even camp there! We are thinking about going there sometime...too bad the horse couldn't come along! We started looking for "Ebenezer says..." it was a fun box to look for with really clever clues! It took quite some time but we found it! Sarge really helped with his great sense of smell! Unfortunately the box was right out in the open and soaking through and through! We decided to take it home and dry it out and contact the placer to see what he wanted to do. (M-Clan if you are reading this PLEASE CONTACT ME!) When we saw the scenery we knew why it was called "Blue Mounds" Those hills in the distance looked so blue--I don't think the picture really does the view much justice! Terrio said that we had one more bunch to go for so we headed to the East side of Verona to another Park...next time---WRONG PARK!
