It's time to release the location of yet another area that Gnomes can be found in Montana. As I have explained before Gnomes are a little people with a family linage as diverse as you or I. This particular tribe of gnomes hail from near the Great Wall of China and have chosen this area, so they say, because it reminds them of home.
To start your adventure you must park near the University of Montana (a really good parking place is just south of the pedestrian bridge (old one) that crosses the Clark Fork River in Missoula) From this lot there is a trail that follows the river both to the west and the east. You want to follow the trail to the east towards the canyon.
You will pass by the Washington Grizzly Stadium on your right, just keep on walking in to the canyon on this very wide mostly flat trail. Soon you will come upon a sign (BIG sign) that reads Kim Williams Nature Area. This is where you can begin to count your paces. Count 310 (2 step) paces as you walk along this great trail enjoying the sights and sounds (I've got short gnome hunter legs (5'5")so adjust accordingly). This should bring you to a huge flat rock at the base of a waterfall coming from the mountainside above it. This is the area our gnomes have chosen to live.
To find the letterbox you need to begin with this huge rock and take 6-7 (2step) paces east along the trail this will take you to where 2 large rocks lie along the right side of the trail, TURN right here and go under/into the trees/bushes and look for a log that has fallen and now lies between the branches of a bush. At the bottom part of this log under several rocks hides the Kim William Gnome Home Letterbox.
While you're at the falls area look up the waterfall and around the area...like the Sawmill Gulch Gnomes these little guys are shapeshifters...while I was visiting several were practising changing into chipmunks and butterflies...mind you not all butterflies are gnomes in disguise...but some of them just might be!
