style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>May 3, 2000</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The first geocache was hidden near Beaver Creek, Oregon.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>September 2000</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Jeremy Irish launched Geocaching.com, a listing site for geocaches. At the time of its launch, there were 75 known geocaches worldwide.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>October/November 2000</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Jeremy Irish, Elias Alvord, and Bryan Roth founded the company Groundspeak Inc. (dba Geocaching HQ) to support the game of geocaching. Initial revenue came from sales of 144 Geocaching t-shirts.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>2002</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Geocaching HQ launched Cache In Trash Out® (CITO), an environmental initiative that is supported by the worldwide geocaching community. Geocachers and community groups work together at organized events to help improve outdoor spaces and preserve the natural beauty of geocache-friendly spaces by picking up trash and by removing invasive species. Since its initial launch, more than 333,000 people have volunteered at 16,000 <a href="https://www.geocaching.com/cito/" target="_blank">CITO</a> events and over 8,000,000 liters of garbage have been collected.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>2008</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Video game developer Richard Garriott places a geocache and Travel Bug on the International Space Station. The cache was found for the first time in November 2013 by NASA astronaut Rick Mastraccio. The Travel Bug remained on the ISS for three years, accumulating more than 350 million miles as it orbited the Earth.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>2020</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover, containing a Geocaching trackable code, launches with an Atlas V-541 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The rover arrives in Jezero Crater, Mars on February 18, 2021. Geocaching is now interplanetary! </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>2022</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Geocaching HQ hosts the Geocaching 20th Anniversary Celebration at Seattle Center. The event was originally scheduled for 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Present Day</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Geocaching HQ remains a strong, independent organization in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle with approximately 90 employees. Geocaching HQ maintains the global list of geocaches, the primary geocaching mobile applications, and the Geocaching.com website to support the global game.</p> </div> </div></div></div><div class="col sqs-col-4 span-4"><div class="sqs-block image-block sqs-block-image" data-aspect-ratio="96.28378378378379" data-block-type="5" id="block-d1e61669cc54ce321f9f"><div class="sqs-block-content"> <div class=" image-block-outer-wrapper layout-caption-below design-layout-inline combination-animation-none individual-animation-none individual-text-animation-none " data-test="image-block-inline-outer-wrapper" > <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " style="max-width:656px;" > <div class="image-block-wrapper" data-animation-role="image" > <div class="sqs-image-shape-container-element has-aspect-ratio " style=" position: relative;
