On May 3, 2000 Dave Ulmer placed the very first geocache, 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, a can of beans and a slingshot.
He shared the waypoint of his "stash" with the online community on
sci.geo.satellite-nav, and Geocaching was born!
Within a day, the original stash had been found. Within days, more
stashes had been hidden in California, Kansas, and Illinois. Within
a month, a stash had been hidden as far away as Australia. The
hobby was fast on its way to being a worldwide phenomenon.
Presently, there are over one MILLION active geocaches around the
world, and a common bond between the 3-4 MILLION of us that
geocache!
Geocaching is now turning 10 years old!
Come and join us for the celebration. The event will begin at
7pm at Puerto Vallerta in Southington, CT.

Per the 'requirements' needed in order to gain the special icon
,
we'll need a few large signs, or (preferably) a LARGE banner to
hold up during the group picture at 7:30pm. The sign should have
the location name and coordinates. If you can help with the banner,
please let me know!
Anyone is welcome to attend...you don't have to reside in CT, and
you certainly don't have to be an experienced cacher... new folks
are most welcome! Let us know if this is your first event as we'd
like to get acquainted.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR ATTENDING AND MAKING THIS A SUCCESS
