WELCOME
TO
One Degree of Separation -
Ducky on the Lake
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 do a web search
To visually see how the project
grows over time check the ODS: PRIME! geocaching profile stats 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.
Congrats to 4Fitzs on the FTF
