Goblin Spelled Backwards

During my four day sprint across the country, I found myself getting an oil change in the mountains of Utah. While there, I decided to look up the filming locations of troll 2. I remembered it had been somewhere in Utah, but I was totally unfamiliar with the area. By an odd bit of luck, I found that I was only about 30 miles away.

It is an odd experience to know you are near a location you have only observed through mediated experience. I found myself attempting to impose Nilbog on this quirky, but mostly uninteresting midwest town. After interviewing a few local people, and eventually resorting to showing around pictures on my phone, I found myself in the old commercial district. Here are a few photos of my experience.

'Kill me now' ... is Goblin spelled backwards!



'125 North' ... is Goblin spelled backwards!
I think you get the point


You crazy boy? We're all vegetarians here in Nilbog.
