+Bob Blaylock Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 The “What Comes After Gczzzz?…” thread has got me wondering… If I understand the pattern, the very first geocache entered into the system should have a waypoint name of GC0 or GC1. But neither of those waypoints seem to be in the system. Making various random guesses, the earliest that I found is GC6A. I haven't tried all the possibilities below GC6A, so as far as I know, there may be earlier ones. Is GC6A, “Kippers in the Jungle”, really the every oldest geocache in the system? What happened to GC0 through GC69 Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 GC4 by Mike Teague was the first entry in the DB. The first 75 caches were not entered in the database in chronological order when they were placed. Link to comment
+Byron & Anne Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 GC16 is still active. Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 However GC30 is the oldest active cache. Link to comment
+VisionQuest220 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Ah, but who is the oldest active cacher??? Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Person's age? I've heard 94. Link to comment
+Moose Mob Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Person's age? I've heard 94. One would suspect that would be you Jeremy, according to that new avatar, you were a WWII pilot! Link to comment
+The Jester Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 The lowest number still active is GC8. Link to comment
+Markwell Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 (edited) However GC30 is the oldest active cache. Only by two days. Edited December 9, 2004 by Markwell Link to comment
+pdxmarathonman Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 The lowest number still active is GC8. I am not sure why the confusion, but of course Jester is correct GC8 is the oldest active cache. Link to comment
Jeremy Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I am not sure why the confusion, but of course Jester is correct I'm missing something. Who is confused? GC4 by Mike Teague was the first entry in the DB. The lowest number still active is GC8. I think 94 is the age of the oldest geocacher. Link to comment
+The Jester Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Unfortunately, the lowest number is not the oldest cache. As Jeremy said The first 75 caches were not entered in the database in chronological order when they were placed. GC8 was placed on 5/28/2000, while GC30 was place on 5/11/2000. As I did GC8 as my 500th cache, I'm thinking of doing GC30 as my 1000th cache next summer. Link to comment

+Markwell Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 GC4 by Mike Teague was the first entry in the DB. The first 75 caches were not entered in the database in chronological order when they were placed. I think this might be the phrase that people missed. The first seventy-five (75) caches in the database were out of order. To me that means everything from GC4 to GC4F would not necessarily have been entered in the order in which they were placed in the field. Link to comment
