About This Item

Shambock Portrait

"Shambock", the young Chimpanzee is one of four GeoMonkeys belonging to her owner, Melissa. He needs to reunite with his other three brothers: Cheeky, Gus and Bayonet in New Zealand and return to Melissa, who misses them terribly.

Shambock, is the youngest of the Four GeoMonkeys. He is the quiet and timid one. Melissa has a very special place in her heart for little, Shambock as he is very affectionate towards Melissa. Shambock can be found cuddling tightly with Melissa on her pillow at night, keeping her warm and secure. Shambock's favorite activity is to climb up the curtains and throw herself down onto Melissa's lap. Melissa squeals with joy at that.....!! 

Shambock loves children and other fellow geocachers and wants to meet as many as he can before he gets back to Melissa. Please take a photo of you with him and post it here for Melissa to see. 

 

IF YOU OR A GEOCACHER YOU KNOW CAN TAKE SHAMBOCK OVERSEAS - PLEASE HELP!!


Melissa's GeoMonkeys

Shambock looks a little sleep 😴 to night, I will Let her rest for a few days because we are going on a trip 👍. When I saw her in my cache I knew I had to see her. It was raining hard tonight 😟 . I kept her nice and dry 😁.
Looks like she needs a new zip lock for travel.

Well, I hope Shambock makes it to New Zealand. I talk to those guys all the time on ham radio but not planning to go there. Maybe I can find a cache near a freeway and he can catch a ride.

Picked up Mr. Shambock...He tells me that he wants to head south. Turns out that I am heading south in two weeks. I think I'll hang on to him untill then and he can help pay for the airfare!

Grabbed Shambock from Vista Pond today. He's heading to Oregon in two weeks. Should get him ahead of all his other friends trying to get to New Zealand.
