I have spent all day packing and stuffing and arguing and taking my beatings with shame.
We have 1 large suitcase with 2 smaller ones inside, 1 large suitcase with 1 smaller one inside, 1 large suitcase for the wife, 1 small suitcase with the "toiletries" and 3 carry ons. In all that mess there are 2 gnomes
You try and get all that plus 5 people in a Toyota Yaris.

... 1 large suitcase for the wife, ...

I hope you've put holes in that suitcase so the wife doesn't suffocate!

How many people without gnomes are getting involved?

Four

I've made up little "Gnapped by blossom*" signs to place when I get a gnome. Just so others know they may as well stop looking. I've made them on leaves so they'll just turn to mulch after a while.

What do people think?

It's fun to chase after gnomes, miss them, beat others etc but once you're at the spot and have missed it, I kind of like the idea of knowing I've missed out quickly rather than spend forever searching. Also, becasue the co-ords can be a bit sus with the speed of things, you can't always be certain you ought not to be searching 15m away. So it's eacy to spend a lot of time "just in case"

Blossom* using leaves? I would have thought petals more appropriate!

Love the idea, as I have a record of getting there too late it would save me a lot of time if I knew quickly that the has been gnapped. Not everybody has mobile Internet some of us still use pen and paper!

Yesterday I saw where you'd placed sticks in the ground in front of a vacated hiding spot from one I'd hidden there recently. Nice touch. I put a new cache into the same area but not the same spot. Of course it's gone now. These gnomes are moving around in Sydney a lot faster than last summer that's for sure! Imagine if we had the hard core GC cachers involved as well - we might not get any before they go!

[Bronnie_1990]

I like that idea. I wish more people would do that..

(I missed out on finding GA2716 by a whole minute or so, the other day. i'm still angry. )

That's a really good idea!

[MtnLioness]

But....how long do those notes get left there?
Do they not just become Junk after some time?

ok, great, but others who have liked the idea should also remember to make them biodegradable too

I missed out on one at Gladesville this afternoon. Luckily Zal had last moved it so I could ring and check exactly where it had been as there was potentially a lot of undergrowth to search!

We are not in the race but we have moved 3 so far. Hopefully more come this way.
