Loch Storsjon had more than a few surprises in store for us. The biggest one involved a ‘mind meld’ with Storsie! I connected with Storsjon’s most famous inhabitant and it was something else. It was magical! Somehow, just by making contact with Storsie, I was able to read its thoughts! I got a glimpse into […]
When we arrived at Loch Seljord, I was a bit out of sorts. Having some weird, mutated sea creature scare the hell out of you can do that. I was in need of a reset of sorts. The home of Selma gave me that in spades. The waters had a warm, soothing effect. Much of […]
Unlike a conventional virtual challenge that has a ‘single’ course map on which you log ‘x’ number of miles, this challenge has MULTIPLE course maps (one for each loch you’re rocking). All told, this challenge will entail covering 350 miles (approx) between now and mid-August. Once you rock a loch (each loch has different mileage associated with it), […]
Whoa! Loch Norman was a total trip! It turns out ‘Normie’ is one messed up creature. Exactly what ‘it’ was is a bit of a mystery. But, if I had to guess, I would say Nessie had some kind of dalliance with a giant alligator gar. Normie was the product of said dalliance. But, the […]
Lake (Loch) Como. This is where it all began for my parental units. This is where they celebrated their nuptials. Pops and I revisited the scene of the crime while Slade and the Neptune crew did their thing. I swear I saw a few tears in his eyes. I can’t blame him. Mom is special. […]
So, where to begin? I suppose I should lead with the biggest news. WE’RE STILL HERE! We were just inches from certain death and destruction when yours truly saved the day. The SIREN blew a flux capacitor and had a few other problems. Fortunately, the NEPTUNE crew had a spare one. And, fortunately, I was […]
As I hurtle through yet ANOTHER wormhole, I’ve got a few minutes to jot down some thoughts. Firstly, there’s the craziest OGOPOGO SONG that keeps bouncing around in my head! Secondly, I was RIGHT! Slade effectively confirmed everything I had suspected. Nessie is the key to everything. It can unlock these crazy underwater tunnels in […]
My instincts were correct. There’s much more to this story than meets the eye. Somehow, we ended up at Loch Champlain in 1977. It appears the Trident is not simply capable of traveling through tunnels in the hollow earth. This craft is also capable of traveling through time! But, I suspect it can’t do it […]
I’m penning this diary entry while the Trident is hurtling through some crazy underwater tunnel taking us to who knows where. What was supposed to be an expedition that would result in a long awaited best seller for Pops has turned into something else entirely. I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but I do […]
Pops has searched for countless cryptids over the years. But, Nessie is different. Nessie is like his version of Moby Dick. Everyone’s favorite aquatic cryptid is a bit of an obsession. But, I get it. He saw something strange on the shores of Lake Champlain as a kid. It changed him. It captured his imagination. […]
