Trolls of Filoli Gardens, Sept 14 ~ ExGld

Greetings Explorers!

I’m excited to share with y’all our next outing to go visit some of Thomas Dambo’s trolls at Filoli Gardens. The first one of these trolls I met was last year, and I became obsessed with sharing them with Explorers. Luckily, I didn’t need to convince a bunch of you to travel to the Pacific Northwest as there is a group of trolls traveling and they’re currently here in the Bay Area. For those of you who are potential excited about traveling to the Pacific Northwest though, maybe if this is a successful trip we could plan an expedition, but for now let’s see them closer to home.

For those that are daring, I believe you’ll be as enchanted with them as I am. This is a big opportunity for us to show them who we are as Explorers.


Trolls of Filoli Gardens - September 14th

Explorers! Rumors of massive trolls have reached our headquarters and now is the time to prepare ourselves, this is not a drill! It seems as though they are in the midst of traveling the planet, and they just so happened to land in our part of the world. Their mission, Save the Humans, is a clear call to us. We must assemble a cadre of our bravest, kindest, and most creative Explorers to greet them and represent the best of what humans are capable of. I would hate for this opportunity to pass us up, so if this is you, let us know and join the exploration.

Their location is the beautiful Filoli Gardens in Woodside, CA. We have secured a group rate of $32/adult (children under 5 are free) for the first 15 explorers to sign up and pay. If we have more than 15 registered by August 31st, we might be able to increase this number, so don’t delay! Anyone who wants to be a part of our group rate, be sure to register in advance.

We also have a slack channel (#0914-filoli-trolls) for additional questions and for people to start figuring out ride shares.

Logistics Breakdown:

When: Sunday, September 14th @ 11:30 am

Where: Filoli Gardens, Woodside, CA

Cost: $32/adult (children under 5 are free)

Packing List: Walking shoes, sunscreen, water, trail snacks, jaunty hat, sense of adventure

But what should I do right now: Register!


I can’t wait to share this exploration with you all.

Semper Explorandum Explorers!
