Geocache Description:

This event is to commemorate the first geocache that was placed in May of 2000. Originally referred to as a GPS Stash Hunt. 5000 days have now passed and look at what Geocaching has become!


Geocaching was conceived shortly after the removal of Selective Availability from the Global Positioning System on May 2, 2000. With the improved accuracy of the system placements of containers could be specifically placed and located. The first documented placement of a GPS-located "stash" took place on May 3, 2000. Oregon resident Dave Ulmer posted the following in USENET:
Newsgroup: sci.geo.satellite-nav

Subject: GPS Stash Hunt... Stash #1 is there!
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!
The original "stash" was found twice before it was removed. This "stash" location is now marked by the Original Stash Tribute Plaque - GCGV0P that was placed September 7th, 2003
