Geocaching
events are being planned world wide to celebrate the 10th
anniversary of geocaching, Locally TOGGA is dedicated to bringing
you an event that you will not soon forget and one that you don't
want to miss!
Make plans
now to attend and join the fun!
On May 1,
2000 the announcement that Selective Availability would be switched
off was made.
On May 2,
2000, at approximately midnight, eastern savings time Selective
Availability was switched off.
On May 3,
2000 Dave Ulmer initiated the "Great American GPS Stash Hunt" by
hiding a black bucket with items inside including videos, books,
software, and a slingshot as well as a logbook and pencil. He then
posted the coordinates in an internet GPS users'
group.
Within
three days, two different people read about his stash on the
Internet, used their own GPS receivers to find the container, and
shared their experiences online.
And with
these humble beginnings our sport was born!!
