Geocache Description:

Piglet is Pooh's very small friend. When he takes walks, he stops frequently to have lunch or a snack for energy to continue. This cache is located where he put his lunch container on his way to visit Pooh. Unfortunately, he forgot about it, so it's still there for you to find.

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh?" he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's hand. "I just wanted to be sure of you.”

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.  Please read the description.

Letterboxers - take highway 507 to Manke Road and park at the trailhead there.

Piglet started his walk to see Pooh at the Manke Road trailhead.  After about 500 feet of walking, just before an open area where he could see the highway, he saw a very large group of trees (stated coordinates) - at least 30 of them growing together with their tops snapped off, although there is new growth on them now.  He sat down, and while wondering what to do, he ate his lunch.

After a bit, he got back up and continued walking along the trail while watching the traffic go by to the south.  About 150 feet farther, just as the trail and the road angled in different directions, he saw a four trunked tree on the south side of the trail, with all of their tops snapped off by a storm.  Again, there is new growth above the broken areas.

He decided to leave his lunch container there, on the trailside of the tree, while he continued on to see the rest of his friends in the 100 Acre Wood.  When he returned, he forgot all about the container, so it is still there for you to find.

Cachers - either follow the letterbox instructions or do this as an offset cache.  Go to the stated coordinates.  Once there, stop.  Then walk 147' at a bearing of 235 degrees to find the cache.
