Sunday,  June 8, 2025:
It was a cool day, but Mark and Paula decided to head west to see trolls.
Their first stop was at a city park in Detroit lake, MN. This one is called Alexa's Elixer.




Known as the Trolls of Detroit Lakes, they were created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo. This one is Ranny Funny Face.




Paula found this one interesting. Mark said it looked like a bad hair day!




Barefoot Frida.



Mark and Paula found themselves in a forest of trees.




The Golden Rabbit is made of plastic that was destined for recycling, but used here instead.



This one is Lang Laif, some 43 feet tall. It was raining at the time, but Paula was up for the adventure.




Most of the trolls are made of wood that was also leftover material.




Mark found Jacob Everear, near Frazee, MN, interesting. He felt like lying down for a nap too.




Then they discovered this arm sticking out of a building in downtown Perham, MN. These trolls are a real tourist attraction.
Cars with license plates from Iowa, Montana, Massachusets and Arkansas, along with Minnesota, were spotted that day.

Quote of the day:    An intersting day.  Mark < Back to previous story Ahead to next story>
