Geocaching comes of age.
On the 3rd of May, 2000, a five-gallon bucket was placed at S Fellows Rd, Estacada, Oregon by Dave Ulmer.
In the bucket Dave placed a Delorme Topo USA, 2 CD Roms, a cassette recorder, a "George of the Jungle" VHS tape, a Ross Perot book, four $1 bills, a slingshot handle and the now notorious, original can of beans.
The coordinates were then listed on the internet and modern-day Geocaching was born.
The first person to find the cache was Mike Teague who took the money and left some cigarettes, a cassette tape and a pen.
18 years later Geocaching has millions of users around the world and to mark the anniversary, you are invited to join me and lots of other cacher's at Chester Services just off Junction 14 of the M56.
There will be the usual exchange of trackable's and Geocaching banter.
No purchase necessary to attend this event.
Parking available.
From 09:30 hrs until 11:00 hrs
