This cache has been archived.

ferreteers: Came today to check on the seedlings and the area. Many of the larger trees were damaged including "Mama tree". Since it's now more open to houses, we decided to not replace and archive the cache. Thanks for playing, Have a Fuzzy Day Ferreteers >'.'<

Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a seed that came from: GC1K9G6: One Degree of Separation - Happy New Year!!!

We had picked up a seed cache at GC1K9G6 on January 24th. Since then we have walked many miles trying to find the perfect place to hide it. We wanted to keep in the "seed" tradition in name and concept - a place where a seed hadn't been placed, and to add to the project knowledge, with a great story to interest other cachers.

Today, we found the perfect spot. It looks like a place a fairy village could be - a forest of seedlings!

Most of the trees are mini in size - from 2 to 4 feet high. But like most babies, they will grow quickly. We thought it would be interesting to return each season and see how they have grown. Please take pictures to record their progress!

Please be gentle in your search. Although we briefly though to attach the cache to the top of one of the young ones and have the difficulty increase as the tree grows - this wouldn't have been good for the tree's progress. So rest assured, we did not do that!

As always, please make sure you have a pen that will write on TYVEK to log your name.

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.

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.
