Notes: Great place to walk and enjoy the scenery. Just beware of the old troll near the top of Mt Hope. He lives in a huge mansion-like house and even though there are no signs indicating "private property" when entering from Mt Hope Farm, he will use choice words to convince you that there are signs! The troll has a foul mouth and a mean disposition. When you yell back at him with your own choice words, he yells "WHAT?" so you get to repeat your choice words even louder. Apparently his hearing is diminished, most likely due to the shit in his head!
Google's Mountain Troll...perfect! |
Tidbits: We found where King Philip was killed in Miery Swamp (betrayed by an Indian named John Alderman). Yeah, you ask...what the hell kind of Indian name is that? A white-man influenced back stabbing Indian name is the answer. We were attempting to cross the summit of Mt Hope to see King Philip's Chair, a place he would meet with his tribe, now on the Brown University's Haffenreffer Museum property, but the shit headed troll put an end to that.
