Troll at Pensacola Beach, Florida

In the large parking lot adjacent to
the beach.

Pensacola, Florida is famous for being home to some of the world's whitest beaches, home to the first and one of the largest naval air stations in America, home to the Navy's Blue Angels, location of the National Naval Aviation Museum, one of the most visited tourist destinations, and for the attendant party and beach life that goes along with such a dynamic and youthful environment. With its short, mild winters and hot summers with plenty of sunshine, it is a popular year-round destination for humans and trolls alike!

Alabama State Line

On their way to Florida, the Trolls had to go through Alabama.

Alabama - the 23rd most populous state in America, is unofficially named The Yellowhammer State due to that being the state bird. The state tree is the Longleaf Pine. It is believed the word Alabama came from the Choctaw language roughly meaning "plant gatherers" which was the name given by early native Americans to a tribe of people who lived in the upper region of what later became the state. These people grew a few crops and gathered grains and other plants as food rather than being nomadic hunters.

 And now the Trolls can say they've been in Alabama.

McLarty Treasure Museum

At the entrance to the museum

The McLarty Treasure Museum in the Sebastian Inlet State Park on the east coast of Florida was dedicated on March 27, 1971. It was named in honor of the family that donated the property to the state. The Museum recounts the history of the ill-fated Spanish Plate Fleet of 1715 which was sunk in a hurricane along the sandy shores behind the museum. It includes artifacts and treasures raised from the successful efforts to recover the lost riches along Florida's Treasure Coast.

So far, millions of dollars worth of gold and silver ingots, coins, jewelry, precious stones, cannon and priceless historical treasures have been salvaged from the wrecks lying just a few hundred feet from the shore. No one knows how much still lies buried in the sand under the water's surface. Even today, for a lucky few, there is still found an occasional gold doubloon washed up on the beach.

"M - eye - crooked letter - crooked letter - eye - crooked letter - crooked letter - eye -hump back - hump back - eye."
