Krypton: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

Placed in celebration of 10 years of Geocaching!

It all had to start somewhere and ten years ago a switch controlling Selective Availability was turned off thus making higher accuracy GPS signals available to the general public.

A fellow named Dave Ulmer, devised a test of the newly released higher-accuracy signals by hiding a target in the woods. He called this the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and the rest was history.

(To read all of the history behind geocaching, please read the Groundspeak's article - "The History of Geocaching")

This multi was set-up an hour prior to mjp303's '10 years! Redwood City, CA' event bash and is designed to showcase several types of classic hide styles...and maybe a couple that are not!

We hope you enjoy this multi-cache, and all that geocaching has to offer.

Cache On!

Please remember to carefully replace each stage of this cache so that the next cacher can enjoy the same experience...Thank You!
