November 2021 - Days of the Dead
Design notes from the artist: Chris Mackey
So I found out something interesting when we were looking up info on Los Dias de los Muertos celebration after seeing a movie trailer for an upcoming animated film. First, I thought it was Day of the Dead as in singular and I thought it was specifically in October, but apparently it's entire week and it runs from October into November this year. It's apparently a national day for cleaning up your local cemeteries and showing some respect for those who've passed before by burning candles, putting out flowers, playing music and bringing favorite foods to loved ones' graves. Kinda wish we saw more of that here in the US.
It seemed too perfect not to use it as a theme for cleaning up dead/deactivated caches, and celebrating caches that are no more like the Virtual class of caches. A gentle poke at geocaching killing off a cache type we love - lol.
