Geocache Description:


An Easy Park and Grab right at the mailbox - I have updated the coordinates in a log below. Posted coordinates tend to take you to the wrong side of the street.

These mischievous mythical characters have been around since the early 1800s in their homeland,

According to folklore, they were supposed to help around the garden, house, and keep an eye on garden produce, animals, livestock, and crops in rural areas where they lived in the rafters of barns. Farmers believed these whimsical characters with magical abilities could help their fields yield more produce, protect them from pests and keep thieves away. At night, they were also thought to be helpful gardeners.

In German fairy tales, these earth dwellers were often described as old men who guarded buried treasure and minerals in the ground.

Stop by and discover what hidden treasures these Gnomes may be guarding.

They may give you good luck or grant a wish if you are really nice to them.

This cache is placed in the Gnome Village that my Grandson and I are building. It is still under construction. If you have any spare Gnomes or Fairies, you can leave them to reside in our growing village.
