On behalf of all of us on the 20-for-20 team, we hope you had a wonderful time getting out and finding these caches!

 

The Series:

 

This 20-for-20 Series was placed as a collaboration of MrBee&WillowTree, Superchucklez, 74vwBus,WHATS IT SAY COL 2, mrGreen317, OddMushroom, and Profbrad. We wanted to place a series of 20 geocaches to celebrate 20 years of geocaching. We hope you enjoy the various types of hides, all across JAGA-land: Micro, Small, Regular, Large; Traditionals, Multi-Caches, Letterbox-Hybrid, Wherigo, and those pesky Mysteries. Happy 20th Birthday, Geocaching!

On May 3, 2000, Dave Ulmer, a computer consultant, wanted to test the accuracy of GPS by hiding a navigational target in the woods near Beavercreek, Oregon. He called the idea the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" and posted it in an internet GPS users' group. The idea was simple: Hide a container out in the woods and note the coordinates with a GPS unit.

The finder would then have to locate the container with only the use of his or her GPS receiver. The rules for the finder were simple: "Take some stuff, leave some stuff."

On May 3, Dave placed his own container, a black bucket, in the woods, taking the location's coordinates to be N 45 17.460 W 122 24.800. Along with a logbook and pencil, he left various prize items including videos, books, software, and a slingshot. He shared the waypoint of his "stash" with the online community on sci.geo.satellite-nav.

THE REST IS HISTORY!
