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.

To visually see how the project grows over time check the ODS:
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 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 website...
Thank you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy
point in geocaching history.
Now about the cache...
This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation
Geocaching Project. This cache started as a seed that came
from:
One Degree of Separation: altosaxplayer, in Bristol, VA.
Subsequently, the container had to be replaced, but the spirit
remains. Parking for this cache is very close. Muggles may be
problematic at times; other times, you will have a vast expanse to
yourself. You will need to BYOP. Please place this cache back
JUST AS YOU FOUND IT so that other cachers can
share in the fun.
