This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation
Geocaching Project. This is an original seed cache, meaning you are
meant to take one of the ready made micro caches inside of it and
hide it yourself. No trading is required. Just come take a cache
and hide it using the proper title format and utilizing the seed
cache template that you will find at the project website or at the
bottom of this page. There is no obligation to participate. Just
sign the log if that's as far as you want to go. Please no trade
items and feel free to use your own container should this seed
cache be empty during your visit.
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 the link at the top of this cache page. To visually see how
the project grows over time check the ODS: PRIME! geocaching
profile stats also shown above. Likewise, 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.
