There are three ways of finding this geocache, please share which one you used in your log!
1. Follow your GPSr to the listed coordinates (boo... boring!)
2. Park at the parking coordinates and use this video to guide you to the geocache. CLICK HERE!
3. Follow the letterbox clues below...
UPDATE:The bank has collapsed and Eeyore's Gloomy Place was totally washed away! I estimate that the new container is about 30 feet southeast of the original coordinates, among some fallen logs and tucked into the hollow end of one of them, so if you are using the video or letterbox clues, make this 30 foot adjustment at the end of the instructions/video.
Drive on Harrison Street between 96th and 108th Street and turn south on Cimmaron Woods Drive. This street winds through the neighborhood and ends at Cimarron Woods Park, a parking lot is available (N 41° 11.047 W 096° 04.183). You are on the wrong side of the creek and will need to cross. You shall see a bridge nearby and you shall cross there. After crossing the bridge, turn to your right and head across the mowed grassy area of the park to the edge of the Hundred Acre Woods.
Depending on the season and the plant growth, you should be able to identify a path leading into the Woods at the very southwest corner of the grassy area. Remember, you are on your way to Eeyore's Gloomy Place where you may encounter bugs, thistles, and other terrible things, so if you are not prepared with long pants, you may want to turn back now.
The path will lead you more or less along the edge of the stream. As you go, some landmarks will help you know you are on the right track and that you have not gone too far. The first you may notice are some boards nailed to a tree. Christopher Robin and his friends used to play here. Just a few more steps past this tree with the boards, a large tree growing more in a sleeping position than a standing position (lazy tree!) will be seen on your right hand side. Carefully step over the tree. Here's where things might get interesting.
After you step over the lazy tree, there is only a narrow strip of bare ground for you to walk on at the top edge of the ravine leading down to the water. Not to worry, you will not have to go very far and you will be back on more solid ground with another lazy tree in front of you. This time, duck under the lazy tree. You are getting close now! Continue to follow the path alongside the creek until you see off to your right a very large fallen tree on the creek side.
On the other side of this log is a lower and very muddy spot if it has been raining or snowing. You will need to carefully make your way down on the creek side of the fallen log. Hopefully you have chosen a not so very muddy day and a not so very hot or sticky day. And I hope you will not encounter such things as thistles, stinging nettles, poision ivy, or mosquitos. But you have arrived at Eeyore's Gloomy Place. He will be so very happy to see you, well, perhaps happy is a stretch, but it is always nice to have a visitor.

The Old Grey Donkey, Eeyore, stood by himself in a thistly corner of the forest, his front feet well apart, his head on one side, and thought about things. Sometimes he thought sadly to himself, "Why?" and sometimes he thought, "Wherefore?" and sometimes he thought, "Inasmuch as which?" and sometimes he didn't quite know what he was thinking about. So when Winnie-the-Pooh came stumping along, Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do?" in a gloomy manner to him.
"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time."
"Dear, dear," said Pooh, "I'm sorry about that."
