This question may have been covered but i only heard about the gnome project today from Daryllm123! I started to read all the logs but gave up after midnight!!

Where do we find the listings for all the gnomes - once they are published in December 1st.

I have listed my gnome, once the game starts what do i do? I assume i take him and hide him somewhere and log it - but which site is it logged on.

Sorry if these have been answered but i thought this was a magnificent idea when i heard about it and I can't wait to get involved in some more caching fun!

Thanks

Last year, there was a Public Query created that listed all the Moving Caches in the game and I see there is one created for this year too, just waiting for the "Publish" date to arrive on Wednesday. So if you go here http://geocaching.com.au/my/query/screen/3011 on 1st December, you will get a listing of all the GeGnomes in this game :gnomette

Nope.
Oops, gnome-napped :twisted:
I don't know the full story just yet, but either (a) there's been an amazing coincidence occur over the weekend, or (b) PrincessDiala is stalking me! :D :gnome :gnome :gnome :gnome (an appropriate number of gnomey icons!)

Hi Cathy,

Make sure your gnome is hidden BEFORE midnight on the 30th, as your listing goes live then, and there are some crazy people out there who go out at midnight for the FTFs - can you believe how crazy some people are?!?!

Not him. He's in NZ this week, so FTF's are on in the west :mrgreen:
I have it on good authority that there is a gnome convention in one location that could be quite lucrative if you hit it up at midnight :-)

You can't believe how itchy my feet are, knowing that all those FTFs will be gone by the time I get back! I'm even considering faking a family emergency, so I can come back a few days earlier! :twisted:

My printer just ran out of ink, i havent printed off log sheets (eek), i forgot to hide one of my gnomes yesterday (that was a ..150km drive, i..dont think i'll be doing for a little while), i need to register another gnome....

Im so not suprised if i end up just hiding them in my front lawn. :twisted:

I just travelled 50km to find that when I got to the location I wanted to release my gnome :gnome that I didn't have it with me in the car. I rang home to ask if it was on the kitchen table still.

Yep :stabby

I am not going back. It will now be released closer to home.

I'm in gnome frenzy today because - amazingly, it slipped my mind. Yes, a line up of gnomes on the desk didn't remind me.

Stupid gnomes, one of them should have SAID.

After a ghost or stray cat or gust of wind came past last night I now only have two gnomes to enter, :( maybe a third if the glue thing works.

After all the stuff I have had to fit into my gnome I realise I have forgotten. . . the log book!
