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.

Please email ODS Web Site
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 foreign 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 Web
Site...
Thank you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy
point in geocaching history.
The following information should be used as the the short
description for the seed caches contained in each seed pod:
This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation
Geocaching Project.
This is a seed that came from: GCXVTD One Degree of Separation:
Mrs. Captain Picard .
This is intended to be an easy find, with the location more
important than the hunt.
The cache is about shoulder high in a hollow nook of a tree. May
have to stand on tip toes. Kids probably won't be able to reach.
Coordinates may not be spot-on because of the tree cover. Stay on
the property of the church and head for the trees on the west side
of the church. Check out the flat grave markers while you're over
there.
Please respect the history of this site. Search only in daylight
hours.
Watch out for the occasional muggling neighbor.
Bonus "atta-cacher!" to the first one who explains the title of
the cache in their log.
