RULES OF THE SEARCH
1) Stay on the trails! All hidden gnomes are accessible from park trails or in open areas. 2) Search only during open park hours: 7am to legal sunset. 3) Keep only ONE gnome and leave the rest for other searchers to find. 4) Don't spoil the surprise! If you see the Secret Gnome Squad out hiding gnomes in the parks before the Solstice, don't follow or try to see where gnomes are hidden. |

Is there anywhere that I should NOT hide a gnome?
No off-roading, please. Gnome seekers should stay on maintained paths and trails while they search. Hidden gnomes should be easily accessible from ground-level (no tree climbing.)
Should I make the gnomes hard or easy to find?
