      The Gnomes are mostly gone. Yay! What’s left is a challenging trail of undulating deliciousness. Beware of grumpy property owners. Apparently trail crosses into private property for a moment. Caveat Emptor!

      All the Gnomes have Ben removed from the trail. Signage in the area reports parking issues at the trailhead as the main reason. This trail brings in a lot of families and hikers with children and the trailhead is located in a neighborhood with limited street parking.
