Incredible Cinderella story. This unknown, comes out of nowhere, to lead the pack… in the DeLorme Challenge. He’s at his final cache. He’s about 455 yards away, he’s gonna use his Garmin 60cx I think. The crowd is standing on its feet here in Wisconsin. The normally reserved WGA crowd, going wild… [pauses] for this young Cinderella who’s come out of nowhere. He’s a Cinderella boy. Tears in his eyes, I guess, as he lines up this last cache. He’s got about 195 yards left, and he’s switched to, looks like he’s switched to a Magellan eXplorist. This crowd has gone deadly silent… Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now, about to become the DeLorme Champion.
I was informed I was in a “race” with Ralph on Saturday. I contacted him Sunday and told him to slow down… when he got around to responding on Monday he said it was too late to slow down as he now had all 84 pages. 😯 🙂
Congratulations Ralph… definitely an impressive run for the record books to grab all the pages and caches you did over the past week. It is quite fitting that the guy who has an excellent cache series that runs through the entire state of Wisconsin (Yellowstone Trail Series) is the first one to complete this challenge requiring you to geocache in all the corners and nooks and crannies of the state.
