Geocache Description:

Eeyore found life to be a series of challenges. Now he has one for you to face before you may log his cache as found. Read on...


"Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.

"'Pathetic,' he said, 'That's what it is. Pathetic.'"

Poor Eeyore.  He is often blue in more than one way.

He lost his tail and had to have it nailed back on.  (If you visit a NYC library to see the original animals, there is, indeed, a nail holding it in place.)

He was boffed and bounced by Tigger.

He fell into the river and Pooh "hooshed" him safely back to shore by dropping rocks into the water.

To rescue Baby Roo, he sat with his tail in the water until it was so cold it lost all feeling.

Eeyore prefers letterbox hybrids to all other types of caches.  Even though he can't read, he looks in his box every day for a letter.

He wants you to find 50 letterbox hybrid caches.  Once you have found and logged 50 of them, stop by to visit him and sign the logbook he has for you.

It will only take him a few seconds to verify that you have done this.  He feels that bookmarks are too complicated, so found something simpler.  He's even living right at the posted coordinates.

Eeyore is looking forward to seeing you.  That will make him a bit less blue.

Summary:  Find 50 letterbox hybrid caches before logging this cache which is found at the posted coordinates.

Please note that the stated D/T rating is for completing the challenge.  The actual hide would be 1.5/1.5.
