Survivor Piggy Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ericles: It appears even The Survivor Piggy must finally give in to the inevitable. I entertained replacing it but the area has changed a good deal since this was hidden 12 years ago. More importantly , geocaching has changed even more and this cache, requiring a good mile or two walk, just isn't what newer cachers are looking for. Little by little Cheesequake State Park's once rich cache options are falling away. I hope everyone who came out to visit this clever little piggy enjoyed the hike and the view from GZ.

Geocache Description:

This Clever Piggy Redux!
A small traditional cache with a very variable terrain depending on your approach.

This little piggy narrowly survived an attack by the Big Bad Wolf and is now hiding out in in a better protected part of the park. She is armed to the snout and protected from the West & North by a steep climb and from the South by a sea of greenbriar. Yes, she's well protected this time! The easiest approach is probably from the East. Her original hiding spot was down the road at the Methodist Episcopal Church but old BBW huffed and puffed and... well, you know how it goes. She spent two years hiding out in a safe-house (ok, big downed tree) until finally being discovered. She really likes her new home though - plenty of deer & very few muggles though the Cheesequake State Park green trail is only a few hundred feet away and Museum Road can be seen from the edge of the ravine. Be sure to rehide her well if you visit and try not to make any loud noises or wolf whistles - I think this little piggy is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress!

In the winter you can see the lights from Big Ed's BBQ up on top of the hill to the South...

In October of 2012 Hurricane Sandy blew through and wiped out the multi-trunked tree where the Survivor Piggy was living. True to her name, she rode the root-ball as the tree came crashing down and wasn't even dislodged from her hiding spot! She relocated to under the fallen trunks where she is starting to feel like the world is out to get her.
