Donkey Kong Jr. - Video Game Classic Series South Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

RetiredGuy: Farewell Florida

Dear Fellow Geocachers,

In 2011, I created the Video Game Classic Series South to celebrate video games from the 1970’s and 1980’s. The series grew to having 50 caches with container, location, or puzzle connected to the classic video games. Having almost all of the containers be themed meant that maintaining them has been difficult but well worth it. The series has had 5700 cache finds by 1100 different geocachers. I have also maintained a leaderboard of cachers’ progress in the series, now with fourteen cachers having found all 50 caches.

In March of 2020, my wife and I moved back to Boston to be near our first grandchild and I can no longer maintain the caches. I will be archiving them when they go missing or have serious issues. While you can still access the leaderboard by clicking on this message, all 50 caches will no longer be available to find.

I deeply enjoyed the Florida geocaching community. Should you make it to Boston, feel free to look up my caches or me while you are in the area.
Best regards and keep on cachin’

Geocache Description:

You are looking for Donkey Kong Junior. He recently came to visit his friend, Sock Monkey, and has been spotted nearby doing what he does best. [Since the placing of this cache, the Sock Monkey has gone out of business, inappropriately replaced with "The Right to Bear Arms" gun shop.]

Donkey Kong Junior arcade video game was introduced in 1982 by Nintendo as a sequel to the hit Donkey Kong. In the game, Donkey Kong Junior would try to rescue his father, Donkey Kong, who had been imprisoned in a cage by Mario. As with Donkey Kong, the game was also created by Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo.



Donkey Kong Junior was another major hit for Nintendo and the second in the Donkey Kong series.


Donkey Kong Junior was later release on almost every home video game console.
