The first geocache ever placed was right here in Oregon. In May 2000, a black bucket was hidden along a rural road in Clackamas county, it’s waypoint shared online and geocaching was born!
We Oregonians have the distinct honor of hosting the very first geocache – placed on May 3, 2000 in the shadow of Mt. Hood near Estacada. The original container is long gone but a commemorative plaque was placed in 2003. Many geocachers make their way to this “Mecca of Geocaching” to pay homage and often to commemorate a personal geocaching milestone . I made the trip, for example, to commemorate 1000 geocaches found.
