GeoRedheads come full circle... with jack_armstrong

jack_armstrong finishes CaddyShack strong! And this is very cool for us personally - with a back story.

When we first started caching, 2 years ago, we stayed local to our house, and found as many of the caches as possible within walking distance of the house. GRH3 and 4, at that time 7-9 years old, both were rather dubious about the new hobby, and we were trying to keep it a low key experience for them (that changed over the years).

However, I remember one of the early weeks, at Oak Hill Park in Danville, we'd cruised through and found 4 of the caches stashed away in the park - the last of which was one attached the the Windmill at the park. Being new to the hobby, we'd never seen anything like a "nano" before, so had no clue what to find, what to expect.

But there was this very nice man there, also caching out the park out, also looking at the windmill, and we remember sitting there, staring at the windmill, together, talking about how much we jointly disliked nanos. He ultimately found it, handed us the container, with both signed, and parted ways.

Anyway, ultimately we learned that the nice man was jack_armstrong, and that he was yet another prolific cacher in the area. He's found virtually everything within 20 miles, from what I can tell, and he ripped through the front 9 of the Caddyshack series in one day, and took finished the Caddy Tournament over the weekend.

Only 1 T-Shirt Left! See Caddy Tournament Leaderboard for all of the latest details.
