Ten
years ago on this day (May 1st 2000), the United States Government
announced
that they would be shutting off Selective Availability (SA) on
Global Positioning Satellites, effectively giving an instant
upgrade to tens of thousands of GPS receivers. Literally overnight,
the accuracy of civilian GPS receivers improved 10
times. On May 3rd 2000, Dave Ulmer placed the first "GPS
Stash" (geocache) at
this location. Read more history here.

Let's celebrate together! We'll meet at 11 AM and party til'
whenever. Trade stories, trackables, and hints and celebrate all
things that are geocaching.
10 Years! Events
In addition to the standard event cache Guidelines, there are a few
additional guidelines that you will need to follow if you wish your
event to qualify for a 10 Years! cache type icon.
Additional Guidelines:
-Events must be held on May 1 or May 2, 2010.
-The name of the event needs to be formatted this way: "10 Years!
your, location." For example: 10 Years! Seattle, WA or 10 Jahre!
Munich, Germany.
-At least 10 people must attend the event.
-Flashmobs do not qualify.
-A video or picture must be taken at the event. At least 10
attendees must be in the video/photo along with a legible sign
showing the event coordinates and location name.
-The people in the video or photo should be festive. Be inventive!
But please keep it family friendly.
