CNY: The Year of the Ox Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

CherryCacher: I was out checking on my caches and this one had several DNFs. It is indeed gone and I have decided not to replace it. When this cache was first placed, the nearby restaurant was a Ponderosa Steakhouse and so this cache placement was funny. Since the CNY(12) series is already half gone, I am going to archive this cache. It has had a good run for almost 8 years. Thanks to everyone who enjoyed this series.
