Liu Fei’s Treasure IV - Trove - Chinese New Year!

In Celebration of Chinese New Year 2018!

February 16th, 2018 - The Year of the Dog!

A mausoleum built for a king named Liu Fei has been discovered in China. It contained treasures made of gold, silver, bronze, and jade. It also held more than 100,000 Ban Liang coins which contain a square hole in the center. Sources say a large amount of this Treasure was brought to Colorado by an archaeologist from Aurora. This may be the biggest treasure trove stashed in Aurora yet!

Chinese New Year 2018 - The Year of the Dog!! Chinese New Year is based on the lunar calendar. Unlike our festivities, which always take place at midnight between December 31st and January 1st, Chinese New Year varies each year. The 2018 Chinese New Year begins on Friday, February 16th. The celebrations last for over two weeks. The global celebrations are an explosion of light, and sound! Chinese families gather on New Year’s Day, and clean their houses to sweep away bad fortune. Traditionally, people are given red envelopes stuffed with ‘lucky money’ and positive wishes!

2018 will be the Year of the Dog! The Chinese zodiac moves in a 12-year cycle, and those born in 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, and 2018 are also known as Dogs! 2018 will be the first Year of the Earth Dog since 1958. Anyone born in an Earth Dog year will be communicative, serious, and responsible in the workplace! Happy Lunar New Year!!

I am not pleased. This is the perfect time of the year to find this cache, before the leaves come out. I've waited for just the right time to search for it, before the snow comes back tomorrow. And I couldn't find it.
At least one of the shrubs appears to have been cut down, so maybe that's what's going on here?

I thought I would try this one again, since I was in the general area today. It is turning out to be a Did Not Find Redemption Day for me! I went back to ground zero without even looking at my GPSr. I noticed the weeds were much more trampled than they were when I was here last (or so I thought the weeds were much more manageable without snow on the ground). Indeed, I would not recommend this one as "snow friendly." I was able to find the cache this time after a couple of minutes searching. There is a multitude of swag items in this cache, and it took me some time to put everything back so the lid would close properly. Thanks for the fun Dawkinakus311.
Keep calm and cache on!

I really hate to DNF this one, as I know it's there. I felt it was chuckling to me under the snow as I left with my head held low and a big frown on my face. Maybe I was getting stuck on a certain idea of what it was, and where I would hide it. Yet, I was stumped with the clue and the "available in winter" attribute, as low and in the roots doesn't seem conducive to an easily found winter cache. Regardless, if anyone wants to search for this one soon, I have dug up half the snow at GZ, ha.

Missed finding it on my first visit about a week ago, but found without too much trouble today. Maybe it was a little less covered up. All in good shape. sl thanks

It was nice to avenge a DNF on this cache. I ended finding this cache by feel rather than sight. Thank you for the excellent service. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.
