LOL!!! It keeps getting better! Poor little Gnome!
If you missed it, I posted yesterday about a little gnome that appeared on the Mount St. Helens VolcanoCam.
Here he is yesterday, his note says "I will get the snow":
Well, here he is today, and his note says "No headway on the snow but could use some hot chocolate!":
http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/views/static-classic.php
He was put up by maintenence workers who wanted to measure the snow (the Gnome is sitting on 20ft of snow in the first pic!) and have a little fun while they were at it. ;D
In an e-mail to KING 5, USDA Forest Service Webmaster Dennis Lapcewich wrote: "We appreciate the efforts of the VolcanoCamGnome in clearing a view for all the world to see, even if the view is dark clouds today, and probably the rest of the week. I have no idea how long he will remain there, considering access to the JRO (Johnston Ridge Observatory) is all but impossible except by Forest Service Snow cat. He may remain a while until the snowdrift underneath him melts away."
More about the story here: http://www.king5.com/sharedcontent/northwest/travel/stories/NW_042908WAB_gnome_mount_saint_helens_KS.b09a1021.html
I approve!
I'll keep an eye out and post the progression here. ;)
