Les Nains Sont Partout Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Lion Heart: Check on the case this morning only to find that muggles had taken the cache. Glad to see those that found it enjoyed the cache. I'm removing it to let other cachers use the area.

Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.
The cache is a small size camouflaged container (decon container). Cache contains a log book. Bring your own pen/pencil. Access to the cache can be found on paved paths located throughout the neighborhood. Once off the path, your route will require some bushwacking. Also be on the lookout for poison ivy, ticks, etc. in the area.

Ever got the feeling that you are not alone? Found that your GPS receiver wasn’t where you put it down to sign the log book? Maybe you’re in the presence of Gnomes. In France, we call them Nains (pronounced nah, drop the last n). Just like humans, Gnomes come in a number of different varieties. The most common type is the Woodland (Forest) Gnome. They stand on average 15 centimeters tall, weigh around 300 grams, and live in hilly meadows and rocky woodlands. They are exceedingly strong, having a strength that is seven times stronger than that of a man. They can run at speeds of 35 miles per hour, and have better sight than most animals. 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.

Use a child’s eye to solve this puzzle cache. After all, they are the ones who readily see the gnomes. So the next time that you are out, remember to be mindful of the woods that you are in, the wildlife around, and please pick up any trash on your journey. You never know, someone may be watching you.

The solution for this cache’s coordinates is in the standard format of degrees and minutes.

To find the true coordinates to the cache, you must examine the two pictures in the jpeg file attached.

Human beings are crazy enough to come out after a heavy snow. Congratulations to RUFNREDY as FTF. Also an honorable mention goes out to BLUNOZ and sons who were searching the location at the same time. Now if you don't mind, we'd like to go back underground to our homes and our warm fireplaces.

Hint: Mushrooms sometimes hold more than just something good to eat.
