Geocaching was born in May of 2000. When the government removed the scramblers on their military global positioning satellite systems this made it possible for civilians to get accurate GPS readings. }Dave Ulmer, hid a 5 gallon bucket with stuff in it and published the GPS location online.He called it The “Great American GPS Stash Hunt”. Later that month, the term “Geocaching” was coined. I have been Geocaching for the past four years and during that time only 1% of my finds have been a 5 gallon bucket. one was the First Cache in Utah. the main thing I find is small Geocaches (like film canisters) they only contain a Log.
I think that the sport has gone down hill from that day in May 2000. What can be done to improve the sport / activity / obsession?
