Okay ...the word is out...in just two weeks the Northern parts of Michigan will be invaded by creatures from parts unknown...some say they are from another planet ...the Yoopers have another name ...yes we are the dreaded "TROLLS" strange creatures from "UNDER THE BRIDGE"




They start showing up around the third Friday of August...some alone...some in pairs...but by late afternoon mass quantities show up on huge motorcycle's

...Trolls are usually easy to spot..they seem to dress a little weird...you will first notice with these trolls they like to wear things on their heads like tribal dress or something...



They come in both sex's and usually like to hang out together...



They have been known to show a passion for food and merriment





But beware as the sun starts to set...their behavior becomes unpredictable...all types of weird things happen...Vikings and Damsels can be seem together...



Jesters and cell phone users share a seat together...



you never know what these trolls will do..


When the sun is down ...keep the children inside...mad rituals have been known to happen



by the way they also love to ride motorcycles...


and see some of the most beautiful country side around ...woods and waters so large they seem to go on forever...
