There's Gnome Place Like Home Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

GeoMimi55: It is with great sadness we are archiving There’s Gnome Place Like Home. When we placed the cache 13 years ago, this was a nice, quiet country road. But with Waste Control moving their business to the top of the mountain and sending dozens and dozens of huge trucks driving extremely fast, the road has become much too hazardous for our Geocaching friends to safely approach here.
So after 139 Favorite points (thank you!) and 375 logs from cachers, so happy to discover this whimsical, “not your ordinary” hide, we bid you all adieu.

Geocache Description:

A cache for kids of all ages.

Even a Roaming Gnome needs to have a place called home. Traveling to exotic places can be quite tiring so our Gnome has decided that this prime real estate was just the place to come back to. He loves visitors and gets a kick out of sharing his souvenirs. He may be away on one of his adventures when you visit but Cachers are welcome any time.

There’s a small but ample pullout for parking. Recent road resurfacing has raised the pavement about 4" so be cautious when pulling off and then back onto the road. Exercise caution if you plan to cross on foot though. Country folk late for appointments and log trucks barreling down the hill can be dangerous!

Be sure to go visit his cousin nearby. "Gnome Home @ The Grange" GC5XT0P
