CNY: The Year of the Tiger Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CherryCacher: I came out and checked on this and this cache was definitely gone. Since this cache is the last in the original CNY series (2012), I am going to archive it. This cache has served the geocaching community well, for over 10 years and was part of a greater group puzzle 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.

Tigers, considered to be brave, cruel, forceful and terrifying, are the symbol of power and lordliness. In ancient times, people usually compared emperors or grandees with the tiger. Court officials often said that 'accompanying the emperor is just like being at the side of a tiger'. There are also many legends on hunting tigers dealing with struggling against evil might.
