Geocache Description:


There are just SO many reasons to host an event on this day, April 5!

  • The date, 4/5, 2025 is cool because 45 squared equals 2025;
  • The date April 5, is the 38th pre-anniversary of First Contact (a Star Trek thing), when on April 5 2063 humans will make first contact with Vulcans, marking the first contact between humans and visitors from another planet;
  •  the anniversary of the construction of the Eiffel Tower;
  • the formation of Apple Computer, which forever influenced the interface between humans and computers;
  • the discovery of Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, changing the way humans understood our Solar System.
  • And overall, we're just gonna celebrate the number 25 along with the rest of geocaching.

And for geocachers, April 5 will be the date of this event, when a group of geocachers can gather for the most beautiful, geekiest, group photo possible that can also earn us all a rare Locationless Icon.

Are there other cool reasons that April 5 is special to you? Come and join us for a fun, geeky gathering at the posted coordinates on this convergence of geeky goodness and have fun with your geo-buddies and others to meet and earn some more smilies in the process. 

Let's meet up, do a fun group photo celebrating 25, and enjoy each other's company and some new smilies too.
