The first cache was placed by Dave Ulmer near Portland, Oregon on May 3rd, 2000. Three days later, two people who had read about the cache on the sci.geo.satellite-nav newsgroup found the cache and entered their names in its log: geocaching was born! You are welcome to link to any of my pages from your web site but please do not place copies of this site's maps on your own web page. Geocache data has been gathered from geocaching.com, navicache.com, and other sources. We thank them all!

Someone hides a cache and logs the coordinates onto the website Geocaching.com. You visit the site and make note of the coordinates, follow them with your GPS, and look around until you find the cache. It's as simple as that. Well, it's a little more complicated, but that's the process in a nutshell.

Simply put, geocaching is treasure hunting for the 21st century. Armed with a GPS receiver, a set of coordinates that tell you the location of a cache, and a healthy sense of adventure, players go out and look for caches of goodies hidden by other geocachers. If one of the goodies in the cache strikes your fancy, you can take it--provided you leave another goodie in its place.

Anybody and everybody who enjoys the outdoors and looking for treasure goes geocaching! I've met families with their kids, people looking for something to do while walking their dog, and solo geocachers of a variety of ages. Most cache listings do have some sort of difficulty rating associated with them so if you're bringing small children or your grandmother with you, you might want to pick an easier cache that's no more than a quarter mile walk in the park.

This activity is allowed within certain guidelines that have been established in current policy. A permit is required prior to placing a cache. Further information may be obtained by calling 1-800-334-6946.

Flower essences were first developed in the 1930's by the English physician, Edward Bach. Dr. Bach was a classically trained physician who became a pioneer in understanding the relationship of emotions to the health of body and mind. Today we call this the "body/mind connection."

Geocaching is based on the use of hand-held GPS receivers. The GPS system has been used for years by civilians, who can use the GPS's Standard Positioning Service worldwide free of charge. In the past, though, the civilian signal was intentionally degraded (with only about 100 meter / yard accuracy). A more accurate Precise Positioning Service was available only to the United States military and select other (mostly government) users. But on May 1, 2000, U.S.

Vibrational essences are a part of ancient wisdom, and have been found in aboriginal cultures throughout the world. The 16th century master physician and herbalist Paracelsus also used essences. The best-known essence maker of the modern world is the English physician Dr. Edward Bach. He re-invented essences in the 1930's, creating the popular Bach Flower Remedies. They are used widely throughout the world. In the past 15 years or so, many new essences companies were founded all over the world.

Balloons have been around for centuries.  The modern latex balloon that we are familiar with was invented in New England during the Great Depression.

Answer: The short answer is Jesus Christ; Jesus (followed by all his disciples) was the one teaching a first-century Second Coming. The long answer is that Preterism has always been a minor voice throughout Church history. Church fathers like Eusebius of Caesarea, St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great and many others were either Preterists or showed strong Preteristic tendencies.

Sailing through a fleet of monohull trailer sailers in 1973, while on an early Piver trimaran, it occurred to designer that the trimaran configuration would be ideal for the trailer sailer. It is light for towing, much more stable, totally unsinkable, and it sails much faster. The only problem was how to fold it down for trailering. Several existing systems were investigated, including telescopic beams, straight hinges, and the 'swing wing' system.
