Geocache Description:

GEOCACHING 10TH ANNIVERSARY CAMPFIRE

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

On May 2, 2000, at approximately midnight, eastern savings time, the great big switch controlling selective availability was pressed. Twenty-four satellites around the globe processed their new orders, and instantly the accuracy of GPS technology improved tenfold. Tens of thousands of GPS receivers around the world had an instant upgrade. On May 3, a GPS enthusiast, Dave Ulmer, a computer consultant, wanted to test the accuracy by hiding a navigational target in the woods. He called the idea the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and posted it in an internet GPS users' group. The idea was simple: Hide a container out in the woods and note the coordinates with a GPS unit. The finder would then have to locate the container with only the use of his or her GPS receiver. The rules for the finder were simple: "Take some stuff, leave some stuff." On May 3rd he placed The Original Stash (GCF), a black bucket, in the woods near Beaver Creek, Oregon, near Portland. Along with a logbook and pencil, he left various prize items including videos, books, software, and a slingshot. He shared the waypoint of his "stash" with the online community on sci.geo.satellite-nav: N 45° 17.460 W 122° 24.800 Within three days, two different readers read about his stash on the Internet, used their own GPS receivers to find the container, and shared their experiences online. Throughout the next week, others excited by the prospect of hiding and finding stashes began hiding their own containers and posting coordinates. Like many new and innovative ideas on the Internet, the concept spread quickly - but this one required leaving your computer to participate. On October 1,2000 Bernie Konarski listed Ohio's first geocache, Boston Run (GC37) in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Penninsula. Slowly geocaches started to be listed and finding more than two or three caches in one day involved some long distance driving. So here we are ten years later enjoying all kinds of twists and turns on the original concept. So please come out to celebrate with some fun and fellowship.
