Geocache Description:

The cache is next to the pond and just off the trail, rooted well in its spot! I've started off the cache with a FTF prize and three TBs recently brought back from trips to New Hampshire and Utah. Spread the fun: one prize per person, please...

This cache is placed in conjunction with my first event cache ever, on Sunday, January 6, 2013, to celebrate two milestones: the ten-year anniversary of my first geocache find ever, and my recent achievement of 10,000 finds over the last 10 years. Parking is free.
 

Back on January 6, 2003, I was researching how to work my GPS receiver, an ancient Magellan unit, and came across an interesting article about the sport of geocaching. I signed into the website and found that the nearest cache to my home was GC3364 "Between Two Ponds", just up the trail from the parking lot and the trailhead where this event takes place. I found the cache and signed in, and later logged my find online. Unfortunately, the next 3 geocaches that I attempted to find I couldn't find, and gave up the pastime.
So, for 6-1/2 years I didn't even try to find another geocache. Then I heard about it again when my new iPhone 3G that I got in the spring of 2009 had a new app available, the Geocaching app. I looked about the area in Ingersoll close to where I was working that day, and found that there were 3 caches within 500 m of where I was. So, during a break I walked around and found all three, and quadrupled my find total! From that day on I was hooked, and have continued to find caches all over the world, from California to Poland, from northern Quebec to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
I reached 5000 caches in 2011 and 10,000 at a cache in Prague, Czech Republic, called "Cache My Czech", in November 2012.
So, I figured it was high time to celebrate my Teniversary.
