+agentmancuso Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Does anyone have any idea what's going on with GC48PYB Signal's Time Machine. It appeared on a PQ a while back with a publication date of 01/04/2000, but then disappeared? Quote Link to comment

I liked the video though. It was a April Fools joke, the time line for Geocaching, even though it had no name back then is May 1st 2000 President Clinton announced the switching off of Select Availability, this was the scrambling of the Civilian GPS signal May 2nd SA is switched off, and Civilian receivers are now accurate within 30m/40m, as opposed to the 150m/200m error previous due to SA May 3rd Dave Ulmer puts out the very first cache, and posts the coordinates on a Chat Board, and Challenges people to go and find it The Publication date of April 1st 2000 was designed to be a give away clue. Given that it was a month before the First cache was hidden Deci Quote Link to comment

I knew all that at one time I guess, but I wondered if there might still be a loggable puzzle underneath it all :-) Quote Link to comment
