Geocaching in Oregon is nothing new as the game started here. This phenomenon began May 3, 2000 with Dave Ulmer, a computer consultant hiding a bucket in Oregon and putting the GPS coordinates on the internet. This was found by 2 others and geocaching was born. Once known as the “Great American GPS Stash Hunt’ there are now over 3 million hides world wide. A little history lesson here, the full version can be read on the Geocaching.com website where I pulled this information.
