There's Gnome Place Like Home Traditional Cache

Where do gnomes live? You probably think either in someone's yard or in an enchanted forest where they live in solitude and harvest wild mushrooms. But this gnome lives a desert teeming with rattlesnakes and mountain lions. Sure it may be a hostile place to live, but this is where his beloved home is located. He is always happy to have visitors. Just please be careful not to disturb his yard. He takes good care of it and appreciates your help keeping it that way.

Please be careful when picking up and setting down the camo cover in order to not disturb the cache. Also, you may want to tap on the cover before you lift it up, just in case a venomous animal has taken refuge underneath it. Also, don't attempt to open the mini-house. The log is NOT in it.

The Borrego Trail is an access trail that leads into the Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park.

From the OCparks website: "Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park encompasses approximately 2,500 acres of riparian and oak woodland canyons, rolling grassland hills and steep slopes of coastal sage scrub and chaparral. The park is highlighted by scenic rock formations, including the beautiful Red Rock Canyon. There are three intermittent streams: Borrego, Serrano and Aliso Creek meandering through the park, each hosting an abundance of wildlife. Remnants of the former cattle ranching days can be seen throughout the park.

Whiting Ranch is open 7 a.m. to sunset, year round, except after rain. Call the park office for current trail closures at (949) 923-2245."
