This is an experimental geocache that has been designed for the
young and young at heart! This geocache has been approved by BLM.
Parking is available at the intersection of Gunston and Harley
Roads.
A colony of woodland gnomes has been discovered on Meadowood!
Woodland gnomes are caretakers of the animals in the forest.
Meadowood has many species of plants and animals. How many can you
spot, be sure to log any you see.
Follow the trail until you are close and then using stealth
proceed to the colony.
Loud noises attract attention and will scare the gnomes. Gnomes
are wary of humans but if you are quiet and look carefully you may
spot them. Be sure to look inside the gnome’s house!
Please do not remove the any of the gnomes or add new ones as
this will upset the natural balance of the colony.
Please follow the following rules while searching for the
cache:
- Only attempt the cache when Meadowood is open - the times are
posted at every entrance
- The trails are multiuse between hikers, horseback riders and
others
- Give horseback riders the right of way on trails
- Stand to the side of the trail until horses are well past
you
- Speak to horseback riders as they approach. This helps the
horse understand that you are not a threat
- Keep dogs on a leash at all times and make an effort to
restrict dogs from barking
- Never run at or touch a horse without the riders
permission
- Never follow directly behind a horse
