Geocache Description:

This cache to celebrate the Year of the Rooster, was placed for the Chinese New Year 2017.

The supplied coordinates are bogus, although going there, you might find a place where roosters could end up, but you would not find a cache. You'll need to gather the coordinates from the 11 other animal caches of the Chinese Zodiac in the CNY17 series to find the coordinates for this cache.


People born in the Year of the Rooster are deep thinkers and considered to be honest, bright, communicative, ambitious, capable and warm-hearted. They have strong self-respect and seldom rely on others. As most roosters are born pretty or handsome, they prefer to dress up. They have a quick mind and hot temper. They like to be busy and neat.
