Welcome to the 100 Acre Woods Cache Series
This series is based on Winnie the Pooh and is a tribute to the 100 acres of city parkland that we have to enjoy each and every day. Since being introduced to Geocaching, I have been completely amazed at the number of local parks that I never knew ever existed, and if it was not for Geocaching, I do not believe I would ever have had the pleasure of exploring even a fraction of them.
The purpose is to celebrate the local parks we have and to promote members and families to walk through some of the vast number of parks that the city has to offer.
This series is also a tribute to my birthday and my 500th cache milestone.
A birthday is a celebration of life and continued good health. In our family it is a tradition that when you are having a birthday that instead of you receiving gifts you are expected to give someone a gift. It could be another family member, volunteering your time and talents, giving a gift to a friend, or someone less fortunate, or perhaps a stranger. This year I am celebrating my birthday with my fellow geocachers, by giving to you all this cache series. Starting from Sept 21 (which is my actual birthday) I will be having a couple of caches published each week, until all the caches have been published.
The series is made up of 13 traditional caches which are hidden in various parks throughout the Surrey/Langley area. For those like myself who are not fond of micro caches then you are going to like this series because there is NO micro caches. Each cache is a Lock&Lock style box, for those who enjoy nothing better than finding those pesky immature micro caches, well you either have to suck it up, or go and find some other caches to hunt for. Each cache contains some swag items, and at least one clue that is required when finding the the final mystery/puzzle cache. To complete the series you must find and record all the clues contained in each of the 13 traditional caches and use them to decode the following message that will direct you to the final cache.

The final cache is a large ammo box of which the contents are four characters from the 100 acre woods as travel bugs waiting to be set free to venture from cache to cache within the 100 acre woods. Please one per geocacher.
There are also many other Pooh theme special swag items and other special items which I am not going to spoil the fun but will let you find out for yourself. What I will say is just that the items contained are unique and premium items, so come prepared to trade fairly. The final cache will have a FTF, 2TF, 3TF, and a 4TF certificate.
Enjoy the series, and a special thank you to the City of Surrey and the Langley Township for supplying the caches with their city swag.
Floody Place
The Michaud Trail is where you will find this cache, found in the City of Langley - Nicomekl Park flood plane (not to be confused with the Township of Langley). This area from about 200th to 208th and from Old Yale Road to the rising land to the south were purchased by Maximillian Michaud in 1875. His brother Joseph arrived later to establish the first French speaking family in Langley Municipality. This trail has been created by the Rotary Club of Langley to commemorate the Michaud family who first settled here in 1878. Enjoy the trails that the area has to offer with all of its ponds and streams and abundance of birds. Although this area can be subject to flooding at times, the cache is high and dry and safe. When approaching this cache please be aware that it can be a high muggle area, so stealth is required. Good luck. The cache is a 500ml Lock&Lock and its original contents is a FTF pin, pins from Surrey and Langley, carabineer, key light, stickers, and of course clue #6 for the final puzzle cache.
