Geocache Description:

Congrats to mojedo from the Kansas City, MO For Braving The Cold and Snow to Get The FTF!!!



There is a Bison hiding it these woods.




Gnaz 'Skunk-foot' Wimwinkle is a gnome who watched over our family's garden. His mere presence in the garden not only helped but insured a garden over flowing with beautiful flowers. He had his own way of keeping varmints and pests away, hence the nick name skunk-foot.

He came up missing the other day and we haven't been able to find him. The other gnomes in the garden ether don't know or won't tell us what happened to Gnaz.

Folk lore would say that these little creatures disappear because they become restless and begin to feel "closed in." However, it is more than likely some one is playing a prank or a game of liberating gnomes from ownership.

Many have become the victim of "gnome-knapping". If Gnaz was gnome-knapped he may have gotten away and made his way to a forest like area until he is found and brought home.

Although they are kind to humans, gnomes are still very secretive; they never allow humans to know the location of their burrows, never teach non-gnomes their language, and appear only when they want to.

Forest Gnomes prefer to live alone without contact to other races. They are friends with elves and the animals who live in the forests. Forest Gnomes are shy and reclusive, and often the mere arrival of human beings within their wooded domain is enough to send them into hiding.

You will need a Gnomal Positioning System to help you find Gnaz.

Remember when you are looking for Gnaz, 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 him.

You will need to bring your own writing stick with you. Gnaz may not have a writing stick with him when you find him.

After visiting with Gnaz don't forget to get the cords from him for the Bonus cache!
