Geocache Description:


May 1, 2000 - an announcement was made that Selective Availability would be lifted.

May 2, 2000 - at approximately midnight, EST Selective Availability lifted and the accuracy of GPS technology was greatly improved.

May 3, 2000 - Dave Ulmer hid a black bucket at N 45° 17.460 W 122° 24.800, filled with videos, books, software, and a slingshot as well as a logbook and pencil. He called it the First GPS Stash. He shared the waypoint of his "stash" with the online community on sci.geo.satellite-nav.

Within three days two different people read about his stash on the Internet, used their own GPS receivers to find the container and shared their experiences online. The sport of geocaching was born!


Come celebrate years of geocaching at Devil's Punchbowl County Park. If 10 Geocachers attend, the event will qualify for a special 10 year anniversary icon.
When: 0900-1200 Hours
Where: Devil's Punchbowl County Park
There will be a pot luck (please bring one side dish)
There will be prizes and a raffle.
