+KBer Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I was at the I-83 Travel Lodge (TB hotel cache) and picked up this red monkey. I remember reading about this red monkey somewhere, but I cannot find a reference do it know. The monkey had a three digit code written on its face (which I smudged). Does anyone know about this monkey or a web site that has more details. Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you. Quote
Fakk 2 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 That is from the Monkeys in a barrel game. You would have a barrel full (about10) monkeys like that) the object was to loop the arm of one around anoother. Then still holding the first monkey, loop the arm of the 2nd monkey to a third, the third to the forth etc. and seeif you could get as many monkeys in a chain. Quote
+Stunod Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Is it from http://www.monkeycache.com/ ??? Quote
+trippy1976 Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Could be this: http://www.monkeycache.com/ I found one of those too at one point... I thought they were sig items for a local cacher. Since you're in Jersey, I guess not Quote
+briansnat Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 I've found a few of these things in my caches. I usually just tossed them. Didn't see the point of a single monkey. I wonder if they were one of those monkeys now. Quote
+joefrog Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Could be this:http://www.monkeycache.com/ I found one of those too at one point... I thought they were sig items for a local cacher. Since you're in Jersey, I guess not That's my guess as well -- monkeycache.com. I'm still looking for one, myself!! Quote
+joefrog Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 Could be this:http://www.monkeycache.com/ Wait -- is there a local user named Funky Monkey? If so, may be a signature item... Quote
Keystone Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 The monkeys from the MonkeyCache have laminated tags attached to them with their tracking numbers, which are written in hex just like travel bug codes. They are much fancier than a three-digit number written in Sharpie on the monkey's face. My guess is that this is just a cacher's sig item. Quote
+Stunod Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 FunkeyMonkey's logs state he leaves signature monkeys. Quote
+Oneyedjack Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 The Monkeycache monkeys have a number like 0x031 associated with them. You can log them on their own web page as well as track them. I found one about a month ago but he had a plastic tag with information about the Monkeycache web page. Not sure if this is the same thing or not. Good luck! Quote

+Runaround Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Funky Monkey is a local cacher here in the Cleveland area. That looks like one of his sig items. Quote
+carleenp Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 There is a Colorado cacher too that uses the red monkeys as signature items. Quote
+Mastifflover Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 I just saw one of those monkeys in a cache in the Erie Pa area. I wonder if was from the Cleveland area cacher mentioned above? Quote

+WYZE01s Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I'd also say it's definitely one of Funky Monkey's sig items. We see them allllll over the place here in NE Ohio! There are little mini-monkeys too now! Quote
