This Week...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEOCACHING!

With the flip of a proverbial switch, the idea of geocaching

 flickered to life 12 years ago. On May 2, 2000, at an order

 from the U.S. President, Selective Availability (the intentional

 degradation of the GPS signal available to civilians) was 

turned off. Civilian GPS devices instantly became 10 times

 more accurate. The original geocache was placed one day

 later. It was hidden in the U.S. state of Oregon on May 3, 2000.
In the geocaching community, we refer to the demise of 

Selective Availability as the "flipping of the great blue switch."

 Although there never was a literal switch, the results are 

undeniable. Geocaching spread around the globe. Now you

 can use Geocaching.com, or one of the Geocaching.com

smartphone apps to embark on adventures to more than 

1.7 million active geocaches hidden around the world. The

 geocaching community has ballooned from that original 

small group of GPS enthusiasts to more than five million people.

Happy birthday to all ...and to anybody I missed !
