Geeg Wiles thought "why not" when given the opportunity to continue a decades-long prank of sorts. That's how Geeg and Ahab's Adventures began, and continue still.
Geeg says he is the caretaker of the 40 pound wooden gnome-like wannabe pirate captain in the painted-on yellow fisherman's coat.
They have gone skydiving, ziplining, rafting and just hanging out for a craft beer.
Geeg is a motivational speaker who brings Ahab along to talk about goal setting, and how 5 minutes at a time is a very doable plan.
How heavy is YOUR excuse? How about 40 solid pounds on your shoulder like an 80's boombox?
Join the many who ask Geeg, "What's up with the gnome?"
