About This Item

Gnorberg

Hi. My name is Gnorberg the Gnome. I was trapped in a boring backyard amongst the petunias and hostas when the kind Mr. Runaround came to my rescue.

I hated just sitting in the garden. It was boring. I want to travel. I've got places to go and people to meet.

Mr. Runaround gave me this sweet necklace. He says the medallion is a magic travel ticket that will let me go to all kinds of kewl places. Can I go with you?

I'm probably to big to fit into most caches. That's OK. I'm made of waterproof materials. Just hide me near a cache until my next friend can come and get me. Be sure to hide me well, my bright coat and hat might attract unwanted attention from something Mr. Runaround called a muggle. Muggles sound scary.

Thanks for giving a ride. I'm a little short on cash right now but I'll be sure to pay you back in good karma.

I was pretty excited to have found Gnorberg. He helped my husband, step daughter and I find mushrooms. He is anxiously awaiting his trip going south on the 6th of October for a family camping trip. Hopefully he won't get lost in the forrest.

Gnorbert stayed with us a little longer than would normally be expected because we thought he needed the rest. I think Gnorberts travels may be starting to catch up with him. We believe he may have tripped and fallen on the trails - several times. When he joined us his fist was clenched and we discovered he was holding his ear. We arranged for surgery to reattach the ear but have concerns that other body parts may be in jeopardy. After his recuperation we fitted him with a new raincoat (ziplock) and took him to this cache. He was too large to fit in the cache container so we found a hiding spot about 30 feet away on a 31 degree course. If no one collects him soon we will come back for him.

Gnorberg is in pretty sad shape. He is cracked in many places and when I found him his left ear was broken off but still in the bag.

  • Gnorberg needs some maintenance
