Geocache Description:


The GBES Spring Picnic 2010

Celebrating 10 Years of Geocaching!!!


On May 1, 2000 the announcement that Selective Availability would be switched off was made.


On May 2, 2000, at approximately midnight, eastern savings time, Selective Availability was switched off.


On May 3, 2000 Dave Ulmer initiated the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" by hiding a black bucket with items inside including videos, books, software, and a slingshot as well as a logbook and pencil. He then posted the coordinates in an internet GPS users' group.


And with these humble beginnings our sport was born!!

The 2010 GBES Spring Picnic was held on May 1st at Wilson Commons Park, located on the west side of beautiful Washoe Valley (23 miles south of Reno on old U.S. 395 - off of William Brent).

This was a POTLUCK picnic. GBES provided drinking water and of course.......baked beans (for commemorative purposes).

Event was from Noon to 2:30pm.

Wilson Commons Park features a 100-year old barn and ranch outbuildings for viewing, 20 acres of irrigated pasture, and several acres of developed parkland. The developed portion features a tennis court, group picnic area, a BEAN-SHAPED fishing pond (with gazebo), horseshoe pits, a Johnny-on-the-Spot and some benches for viewing the impressive Sierra Nevada mountains.
We celebrated the 10 Year Anniversary of our favorite sport with a Potluck Lunch and of course some FUN Games. Our winning Geo-lympians:

1.) Guess the Ammo Can's Weight, Doodad

2.) Geocache Toss contest, abeyoni and

3.) Micro-cache Competition, abeyoni
Of course, there were COOL PRIZES awarded.
