On May A, 2000, Dave Ulmer wanted to test the accuracy by hiding what we now know as a geocache in the woods.
After 10 years of activity there are over B.3 million active geocaches published on various websites.
C (How may characters does the acronym have?) is an ongoing environmental initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Since 2002, geocachers around the world have been dedicated to improving parks and other cache-friendly places.
The encryption that is used for encrypting hints has D characters (not including the hyphen (-), but including the letters and numbers.)
On May 2, 2000, at approximately midnight, eastern savings time, the great blue switch controlling selective availability was pressed. 2E satellites around the globe processed their new orders, and instantly the accuracy of GPS technology improved tenfold.
Within F days of sharing the coordinates to his friends, two different readers read about Dave Ulmer's stash(geocache) on the Internet, used their own GPS receivers to find the container, and shared their experiences online.
