Geocache Description:

Utah Geocaching is approaching its 4th anniversary. Join us as we celebrate this milestone. Potter's Ponds is located 125 beautiful miles from Downtown SLC. Well, beautiful once you leave I-15, and the traffic behind anyway.

This event will be held to commemorate the placement of Utah's oldest, and longest surviving geocache. On August 27, 2000 Larry Nielson, aka Leaper64 placed a 5 gallon bucket in the ground near a spot where his family had enjoyed camping for years. He recorded the location with his GPS, and posted the waypoint coordinates on Geocaching.com. And Geocaching came to Utah. Four years, and nearly three THOUSAND caches later, cachers from all over the state will visit this revered location to pay homage to this venerable cache. Please bring something nice to contribute to the cache.

I have reserved campsite #6 for our group. I will post the exact coordinates for the site on the announcement board when we arrive, so if you need coordinates, look there. This site allows 50 people and 12 vehicles, including campers/RVs up to 40 feet. Please RSVP to this page, with the number of people and which nights you will be staying. I have reserved the site for Friday AND Saturday night.

If any would like to volunteer to help make this event a success, contact me at gps_hunt@yahoo.com.
