Chinese New Year this year is Monday February 8th and 2016 is the Year of the Monkey! It seems like a good time to honor geocaching's most infamous location, the A.P.E. cache in Brazil (Mission 4: Southern Bowl - http://coord.info/GCC67) and all the other now defunct Project A.P.E. caches with an RCGDS event.
Join us on Saturday February 6th from 6:00-8:00PM for a pot luck dinner, along with the usual raffle and some monkey business.
Those born in Monkey years (1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, 2016) are clever, sharp, mercurial, and entertaining. They are wonderful to be around because they are fun, creative, and bring the sparkling energy that only Monkey can provide. Uninhibited Monkey rarely gets embarrassed by anything, and is free to express herself fearlessly in all walks of life.
Of the five Taoist elements Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood, this is the year of the red Fire Monkey. Red means go! Fire brings passion, creativity, and joy. Fire types are strong, dynamic, and can overcome illness and obstacles. Just be aware to not jump ahead of yourself this year, especially during the heat of summer. And try to calm what is called Monkey mind in Buddhism: jump to a branch, grab a banana, peel it, take a bite, drop it. Then jump to the next branch, grab a banana, peel it, take a bite, and drop it in a useless tail-chasing cycle. In addition to acute mental alertness, Monkey also possesses physical stamina. Monkey is good with her hands, has skills and dexterity with machines and naturally has technological talents.
We are pleased to help promote GeoWoodstock 14er - 2016, that will happen in Colorful Colorado!
The main event will be held on SUNDAY July 3rd, 2016 at the Botanical Gardens, Chatfield location in southwest Denver. Close to state parks, mountain access and all things geocaching.
