The birth of the website:  Question:

After experiencing the thrill of finding his first cache, Jeremy Irish decided to start a hobby site for the activity. Adopting the term geocaching, he created Geocaching.com and applied his professional web skills to create tools to improve the cache-hunting experience. The cache listings were still added by hand, but a database helped to standardize the listings. Additional features, like searching for caches around zip codes, made it easier for new players to find listings for nearby caches. The new site was completed and announced to the stash-hunting community on September 2, 2000. At the time the site was launched there were how many known caches in the world?

  1. 25 (088)
  2. 50 (341)
  3. 75 (571)

The cache can be found at:  N 45 37.873 W 061 33.XXX
