A small cache hidden in the small park where I walk
Gnomes consist of a number of different types. The most common is the Forest Gnome who rarely comes into contact with man. Gnomes are usually an average of 15 centimeters (6 inches) tall, but with its cap on it appears much taller. Their feet are somewhat pigeon toed which gives them an extra edge on speed and agility through the wood and grass. The males weigh 300 grams (less then a pound), and female is 250-275 grams.
The male wears a peaked red cap, a blue brown-green pants, and either felt boots, birch shoes, or wooden clogs. Around his waist is a belt with a tool kit attached, holding a knife, hammer, etc. They are fair of face, though they boast rosy red cheeks. Long beards adorn their faces and turn gray far sooner than their hair.
The female wears gray or khaki clothing, consisting of a blouse and skirt (to ankles). She also has black-gray knee socks and high shoes or slippers. Before she is married, she dons a green cap.
Most Gnomes are 7 times stronger than a man, can run at speeds of 35 miles per hour, and have better sight than a hawk. These abilities help the Gnome to do many things, such as find wounded, dying animals for which they feel they are responsible for. Because of their love for animals, all the animals of the forest are the Gnome's friends and are willing to help him at any time. Many people say that gnomes have elevated practical jokes to an art form. But most especially they love gems and jewelry and are considered by many to be the best gem cutters and jewelers in existence
This cache is hidden a short distance off the paved trail of a local municipal park where I walk week days. Please restore the cache so other cachers can enjoy the search as well. Since this is a small, BYOP for signing the log.
Beware of muggles on the forest path.
In wet and freezing temperatures the cache container may be difficult to remove from its hiding place.
DO NOT attempt to force it! Remove its top by unscrewing it and get to log. Or you will destroy the camoed container!
The gnomes left a small treasure for the FTF
This is hidden in a municipal park so caching is restricted from dawn to dusk hours only.
