Geocache Description:

Ten years ago the first geocache was hidden and had it's coordinates posted on the internet. A short time later it was found and this sport we all love was born. That sounds like reason enough to celebrate. So come on out Sunday, May 2, 2010 11am - 2pm.(I'll be arriving early, ~8:00am. Come by early if you wish.)


URGENT NOTICE!!! 10 Years Oak Ridge, TN event was held on May 2nd. Photo of the event goes viral on the internet!!!
