Hosted by MadMin on 5/2/10
Special Icon for this 10 Year Geocaching Birthday event:
Had an absolute blast at this event, at the time of writing this there have been 133 attended logs.
On May 3, 2000, a five-gallon bucket was placed right at this very spot by Dave Ulmer,
containing Delorme Topo USA and 2 CD Roms, a cassette recorder, a "George of the Jungle" VHS tape, a Ross Perot book, 4 $1 bills, a slingshot handle, and a very famous can of beans (now the O.C.B. T.B.!) The coordinates were then listed on the Internet and modern-day Geocaching was born.
The first finder of that first cache was Mike Teague, who took the money and left some cigarettes, a cassette tape and a pen.
This event was hosted by the Massachusetts volunteer reviewer (MadMin)
with location help from BlackstoneVal as he is a DCR ranger at this park.
I got to meet Madmin
and many other geocachers, several of which traveled from as far as Virginia to attend this great event. We all gathered together for a big photo of the event.
There was a lot of great food, including several cakes and caching cookies.
A GREAT time had by all!
