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, but
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. For more information on this project and the
Small World Theory go to: ODS web
site

PRIME! geocaching profile stats at:
(visit link) Please email ODS: PRIME! when you plant your seed,
so he can add your cache to the ever growing network of caches
placed in this project. Many other goals will be posted as the
project grows, but here are a few. #1 To have an active ODS cache
hidden on ALL 7 continents. #2 To have an ODS cache hidden in all
50 states. #3 To have an ODS cache hidden in a number of foriegn
countries, by milestone, 10 countries at a time. First milestone 10
then 20 and so on. #4 To have an ODS cache hidden in every county
in Texas. More goals will be posted on the ODS website.... Thank
you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy point in
geocaching history.
I picked this cache container up at GeoWoodstock IV and
immediately knew the perfect spot for it. You are not required
to take a container to start your own cache just sign the log
(there isn't any room for trades just yet). The road up to it
is fairly good but at about .27 you will need to either walk or
have a taller vehicle. The cache was placed in a spot where you can
view both Albion, Burley and Elba. Have fun and enjoy!!
