An event to celebrate the Ten Year Anniversary of Geocaching!!! Saturday May 1nd, 2010 – 6PM – Until. You can attend this event to qualify to qualify for a “10 Years!” icon.
About 10 Years! Events:
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.
"10 Years!" 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! ." 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.
The Group Photo:
Since we have to be "festive" and the 10 Year Anniversary is traditionally the "Tin or Aluminum" anniversary I propose everyone brings an article of attire made out of aluminum foil. If everyone is really creative I bet we will have a great group picture.
Why so late?
It's the 10 Year Anniversary of Geocaching, so go out and cache! We’ll have a nice afternoon Meet n' Greet, we will make silly things out of foil, we will take a group photo.
