This event is part of a worldwide celebration held
between April 30-May 3, 2010 to celebrate 10 Years of
Geocaching! Each event that meets the
guidelines will have a 10 year! event
icon!
It
all started on May 1, 2000 when President Bill Clinton announced
that the scrambling of the satellite navigation system, known as
Selective Availability (SA), would be turned off. On May 2, 2000, at
approximately midnight, eastern savings time, twenty-four
satellites around the globe processed their new orders, and
instantly the accuracy of GPS technology improved tenfold. On May
3, 2000 the first geocache was hidden and had it's coordinates
posted on the internet. A short time later it was found and this
sport we all love was
born.
