CNY: The Year of the Monkey Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CherryCacher: This cache was placed here when the venue it was near was a Grease Monkey. Since that time, the venue has changed hands 4 times and is now a drive thru beverage store. This cache has served the geocaching community well, for over 10 years and was part of a greater group puzzle for CNY12 (the first CNY series) with a final that has been gone for 5 years, so it is time to retire it.

Geocache Description:

The CNY series celebrates the Chinese New Year. The 12 animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac are presented. Eleven will have a number needed for the coordinates to find the twelfth for this Chinese New Year, The Year of the Dragon.

The monkey is a clever animal. It is usually compare to a smart person. During the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC – 476 BC), the dignified official title of marquis with the pronunciation 'Hou', was the same as the monkey's. The monkey was thereby bestowed with auspicious meaning. Pictures of it are pasted on walls and doors to bring good fortune in officialdom.
