+Markwell Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 With all the talk of the history and creation of Geocaching, anyone else notice that we're just about on our second anniversary of Geocaching? May 1, 2000: President Clinton releases selective availability (read the statement). May 3, 2000: Dave Ulmer hides a box. May 6, 2000: Mike Teague finds Dave's box. Two years later: 17315 active caches in 120 countries. Wow. Anyone got plans to celebrate? I think I'm going out with a reporter this weekend... Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote Link to comment

+Yak Man & Yak Girl Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I plan to celebrate by spending this weekend in Kickapoo State Park and do some kayaking and caching. If all goes well I will hit the 30 found mark. Quote Link to comment

rghermes Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 What if the terrorist and Al Quaida thing gets completely out of control and they turn SA back on? Now that would suck!!

+GatoRx Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Sounds like a good excuse for going cachin'. As if I needed a reason, though. Quote Link to comment

+The GeoGadgets Team Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 We are going to hunt a geocache that MAY celebrate it's first anniversary of having never yet been found if we don't go... I think it is an appropriate way to celebrate, right? Leave no cache unfound! Besides, we've recently been the first finders of four new caches in four days... why not continue our "bagger-mentality" ways? ---------- Lori aka: RedwoodRed KF6VFI "I don't get lost, I investigate alternative destinations."

+mtn-man Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Last year on May 3 I place my 1st Anniversary Cache -- SOAP?. I went out two weekends ago and hid the 2nd Anniversary Cache. I went out this weekend and checked the coordinates and added a couple of items to the cache. I will be out of town at the end of this week, so I am going to list it in the morning. Interesting that the first one is ID=2167, and this one will be somewhere in the ID=21350 range. That is a heck of an explosion of caches in the last year. Too bad Dave went wacky. I am just glad that Jeremy and Mike have kept the ball rolling and we now have one fun hobby to play with. The enhancements to the site have been awesome. I cannot wait to see what the next 12 months bring!!! I will be in Boston at the end of this week, and I hope to hit several caches while there including the first cache in Massachusetts on May 3.
