Geocache Description:

Our favorite Sport Geocaching is 10 Years Old on May 1st, 2010.
Lets celebrate.



There is no longer any reason to record the clues.
Since the road was getting really grown in we archived the four caches that made up the "1"as well as the final cache. All we have left is a "O".

What better way to celebrate 10 Years of Geocaching then to take a moment to Thank those who make this wonderful sport possible.
Thanks! Groundspeak. Jeremy Irish, a web developer for a Seattle company, stumbled upon an earlier web site in July of 2000 and the idea of treasure hunting and using tech-gadgets enticed him to purchased his first GPS unit and go in search of a nearby geocache.
As with most of us he was instantly hooked and soon after decided to start a hobby site for the activity, and he created Geocaching.com. Through the years he has created tools to improve the cache-hunting experience. With Mike Teague's valuable input, the new site was completed and announced to the stash-hunting community on September 2, 2000. At the time the site was launched there were 75 known caches in the world.
Jeremy Irish was joined by Elias Alvord and Bryan Roth and the three continue to own and operate the web site today. They are supported by a small team of Groundspeak Lackeys. This cache is a tribute to all the hard working owners and Lackeys that keep the game going for us and constantly upgrade the tools to make the site more user friendly.

In celebration of 10 Years of Geocaching we have hidden 12 caches that you will need to visit - in any order - to find our 100th Geocache hide "10 Years Later" (GC25RB6).

8 of the caches - the "zero" - are located in Kinnaird along a very interesting hiking trail. Stay on the trail until close to the cache (the most direct route isn't always the best approach). At some of the caches basic route finding skills may be required.
