HoggleA10: This park is being overhauled and the cache is gone. Rather than try to carve a new stamp and rewrite the clues, I think this one’s time has come to a sad end. Thanks to all who have visited!

Geocache Description:


You might think it's funny
a gnome wants to rest
but this place is sunny
atop of the crest.

But the sun was so hot
and the earth so inviting;
down the stairs he did trot
to a garden he was sighting.

The garden of peace
was the gnome’s final stop;
his stress to release,
his keister to plop.

Facing the stair
with the arch on your right
11 o'clock you'll bear
to the bush that's in sight.

10 steps will you take
to the spread-open shrub
a rock that is fake,
right there at the hub.

What you will find within
is a stamp and logbook
To take either is a sin;
You should sign, stamp, or just look.


Markers are best
the image to capture
but ink pads, not blest,
won't cause the rapture.

One final memo
'ere our story is ended:
You'll see below
this cache is quite blended.

You might know they existed:
True letterbox-kind.
This cache is cross-listed
For 'boxers also to find.
