Geocache Description:

Arrrrrgh!

I los' 'un o' me fishin's poles.
Let me knows if'n ye sees it!



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.
