Geocache Description:

Gung Hay Fat Choy!

The Lunar New Year dates from 2600 BC, when the Emperor Huang Ti introduced the first cycle of the Chinese zodiac.

Because of cyclical lunar dating, the first day of the year can fall anywhere between late January and the middle of February. On the Chinese calendar, 2007 is Lunar Year 4704-4705. On the Western calendar, the start of the New Year falls on February 18, 2007 — The Year of the Pig.

If you were born in 1923, 1935, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983 or 1995 - you were born under the sign of the pig. Like the pig, you are highly regarded for your chilvary and pureness of heart, and you often make friends for life. For pigs in 2007, any recent setbacks or obstacles can be overcome so look forward to a year in which to really shine, either personally or professionally.

Famous people born in the Year Of The Pig include Lucille Ball, Humphrey Bogart, Thomas Jefferson, Ernest Hemingway, Alfred Hitchcock, Mahalia Jackson, David Letterman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

March's Meet And Greet will be something different from those we've hosted before. Since 2007 is the Year Of The Boar according to the Chinese calender we've decided to join in the spirit of things by going Chinese. It's time for a mid-winter geocaching get together. Meet up at China Buffet Sunday March 18th from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM to swap stories, travel bugs and share in the fun of geocaching.

Feel free to bring some travel bugs that need moving. Please leave a note if you plan to attend so we can warn China Buffet of how big of a crowd to expect.
