10 Years of Geocaching


It has been almost ten years since May 3, 2000 when Dave Ulman of Oregon City, Oregon and Mike Teague of Vancouver, Washington -- independently stashed several five-gallon buckets and posted their locations to the Web. Then on May 30, 2000 Matt Stum, one of the original Stash Hunters, coined the name "Geocache" and offered it in place of the term Geostash which had negative connotations and the rest is history.
