Geocache Description:

Come one, come all, come quickly to The Original Stash Micro Event!

This is a MICRO event to celebrate the 7th anniversary of the event that started it all.



May 3, 2000 was the date when Dave Ulmer of Beavercreek, Oregon hid the first documented Geocache (called a Stash at that point). The location was posted on the Usenet newsgroup sci.geo.satellite-nav. By May 6, 2000, it had been found twice and logged once (by Mike Teague of Vancouver, Washington).

The activity was originally referred to as GPS stash hunt or gpsstashing. This was changed after a discussion in the gpsstash discussion group at eGroups (now Yahoo!). On May 30, 2000, Matt Stum suggested that "stash" could have negative connotations, and suggested instead "geocaching."

A tribute plaque and cache can be found here
