On May 1, 2000, the President of the United States' executive order
to discontinue "Selective Availability" allowing users to recieve a
non-degraded GPS signal globally, was executed. On May 2, 2000, at
approximately midnight, Eastern time, the switch controlling
"Selective Availability" was thrown. Twenty-four satellites around
the globe processed their new orders, and instantly the accuracy of
GPS technology improved tenfold. Tens of thousands of GPS recievers
around the world had an instant upgrade. On May 3, 2000, Dave Ulmer
placed the very first geocache, The Original Stash, a black bucket,
in the woods near Beaver Creek, Oregon. Along with a logbook and
pencil, he left various prize items including videos, books,
software, a can of beans and a slingshot. He shared the waypoint of
his "stash" with the online community on sci.geo.satellite-nav, and
Geocaching was born.
