Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

A living museum of the first cache placed on 3rd May 2000. This cache is of the same size (5 gallon) and contents as the original geocache which started off this 21st century hobby.

Further information about the original cache can be found at GCGV0P.

From Dave Ulmer in 2000 we have:

"Well, I did it, created the first stash hunt stash and here are the coordinates:

N 45 17.460
W122 24.800


Lots of goodies for the finders. Look for a black plastic
bucket buried most of the way in the ground. Take some stuff, leave some stuff! Record it all in the log book. Have Fun!

Stash contians: Delorme Topo USA software, videos, books,food,money, and a slingshot! "
This cache is similar to the first ever put out, a 5 gallon
container just off the side of the road. Inside are 2 separate bags
for swaps, one is labeled "Do not swap" and contains the following:
2 paper maps of the Adelaide area, a cassette recorder, a CD of hits from 2000 ,a "George of the Jungle" VHS tape, a book "Silence of the Lambs", 4 $5 "bills" and a can of beans.

The original cache contained:Delorme Topo USA and 2 CD Roms, a
cassette recorder, a "George of the Jungle" VHS tape, a Ross Perot
book, 4 $1 bills, a slingshot handle, and a very famous can of beans.
If people have some US $1 bills, a Ross Perot book and spare slingshot handle then they can be swapped into this bag with the aim to make it match the original contents of that first cache, however please don't take out items that already match and are difficult to replace like the cassette recorder or VHS tape.
To find the location of this cache just use the fractions of minutes of the original cache.
There is also a regular swaps bag and logbook.
