The fifth in my Gnome Home series.  Some gnomes like to live far away from everyone, other gnomes like to move into nice neighborhoods.  This gnome likes to have neighbors, but still likes his privacy.
Gnome home's are little pockets created in sand stone and lime stone by erosion.  While often found in large rock formations, or on cliffs high above the valley floor, this gnome home is located amongst the trees.  There are numerous boulders and small cliffs where this gnome could have moved in here.  He chose his home because it is extremely deep, which doesn't seem possible in this rock.  No squirrels, mice, snakes, or spiders lived here, so the gnome moved in.

The cache container is a true Army Surplus Decon container with an official Geocaching sticker on it.  There are a few small toys, log book, and a set of new Pathtags for the first person to locate this gnome home.

While it appears that no critters lived in this Gnome Home previously, don't put your hands into holes you can't see into. And remember, this cache is located near people homes, so night caching might not be the best idea.

Happy caching!

Congratulations to Robespierre, FTF!!

My third visit to this cache.
It took some climbing as I did not find the more direct path.
Finally at GZ I found the cache on the ground, about to tumble to lower elevation.
I signed the log and left it at a more secure spot (not harder than the spot I found it).

My final find of the day! Again approached this from a much more difficult orientation. If you can find a path, follow it. Spider webs all over, but that never stops me. TFTC!

Scenic view. Hard find = lots of holes and jumpy GPS. Left bison. Thanks for placing. K7

Reached in and got a handful of spider webs, but the cache is here and all is well! Terrain is a little challenging but nothing extreme. TFTC!

We liked this one a lot and are giving it a fav point. Getting local caches again today. Some of them close to apt and some of them quite a ways out. This is one on the list. Thanks for placing it.
