Gnome Home AQ #300692

 Enter the Enchanted Forest, being aware that they have very limited hours.
 Pass the Nature Center.
Get to this intersection and head west on the blue trail.
After a short walk, pass this hollowed out live oak tree.  Take 50 more steps to see the second hollowed out tree in the picture below.
Check out the backside of the second live oak, under leaves and Spanish moss for a Gnome Home.

Tiny Hiker AQ #283941




 Visit an Enchanted place but beware, the hours are limited.
 Pass the Nature Center and find your way to this intersection. 
Head north on the Tomoka Trail for 12 steps. 
You should then see two palms with an opening between them on your right.  Walk into the opening and note this small palm with a palm trunk laying in front of it, about ten steps into the woods.
Tucked in between them you will find the Tiny Hiker.
