CNY: The Year of the Horse Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

CherryCacher: I stopped by today and thought I would check if this cache was still there. What I discovered was a homeless person had setup "shop" on my tree stump to panhandle. [:P] I have been considering archiving this cache for a long while as it no longer contributes to a final and it has been a problem child ever since they cut down the tree that originally held it. [V] This cache has served the 2012 CNY series faithfully for over 8 years. [^] So it is time to retire it.

Geocache Description:

This is a quick two-stage multi-cache at a familiar location. You will find the coords to stage 2 at the first location.

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 spirit of the horse is recognized to be the Chinese people's ethos – making unremitting efforts to improve themselves. It is energetic, bright, warm-hearted, intelligent and able. Ancient people liked to designate an able person as 'Qianli Ma', a horse that covers a thousand li a day (one li equals 500 meters).

Strengths
People born in the year of the horse have ingenious communicating techniques and in their community they always want to be in the limelight. They are clever, kind to others, and like to join in a venture career. Although they sometimes talk too much, they are cheerful, perceptive, talented, earthy but stubborn. They like entertainment and large crowds. They are popular among friends, active at work and refuse to be reconciled to failure, although their endeavor cannot last indefinitely.

Weaknesses
They cannot bear too much constraint. However their interest may be only superficial and lacking real substance. Horse people are usually impatient and hot blooded about everything other than their daily work. They are independent and rarely listen to advice. Failure may result in pessimism. They usually have strong endurance but with bad temper. Flamboyant by nature, they are wasteful since they are not good with matters of finance due to a lack of budgetary efficiency. Some of those who are born in the horse like to move in glamorous circles while pursuing high profile careers. They tend to interfere in many things and frequently fail to finish projects of their own.
