Where Is The First Cache

[+geohiker55]

I am going to be in washington latter this month (june) and I would like to find the cache that started all this. Is this cache still active and if so what is the name of the cache?

This cache was placed in honor of the long gone original cache.

The first cache is no longer active but there is a plaque in Oregon commorating its placement that can be logged as a find ORIGINAL STASH TRIBUTE PLAQUE .

The oldest active cache in Washington state is Mountain Marsh on the slopes of Mount St. Helens.

If you ever get to Kansas you can find the oldest active cache in the world at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...e7-1f9216caae07

I'm slowing working on them. I found the Tribute Plaque, the Un-Original Stash up the hill, Firestone in California, and Mingo (the oldest surviving) in Kansas.

Thanks for the 100 oldest caches.Now I need to plan on visiting the cache sites.I probably wont see all of them but maybe I will get to log a few thats still active here in Wa.

Get yourself a copy of the Groundspeak calendar for 2005. It has the names (and waypoints) for the first caches in each state and quite a few countries around the world. I had no idea the first one in Vermont is less than 50 miles from me!

Amazing. We just discovered Geocaching last week and now find that Alan's home country was the second in the world to take it up.
