Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a seed cache and it is intended for you to take one of the ready-made micro caches and hide it. No trading is required. When hiding the micro, please use the title format and seed cache template you will find at the bottom of this page. There are no obligations to participate, but please sign the log.

This project was launched to unite the entire geocaching continuum together at one point using the "Small World Theory" as it pertains to geocaching. If even half of the nearly 13,000 caches originally released on 5/26/2006 get placed as a geocache, no geocacher in the entire world (with even 1 find) should be able to go much beyond 3 degrees of separation from every other geocacher in the world. The REAL object of this project is to bring that number down to 1 degree for as many geocachers as possible.

One Degree of Separation is a project that has been taking shape and GROWING for nearly 3 years. It's a variation of the "Small World" concept that was proposed in the early 20th century. Many people are familiar with the "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" game, but few know just how far back the idea goes.
