Geocache Description:

This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. I found my first ODS cache at GCWE4E - ODS:DYFEN , a cache by Guy Aldrich, a geobuddy I met while in Arizona in February 2008. This cache has been a long time coming!!!!

The cache can be found in Welwyn Preserve. The container was a 50 cal. ammo can. Since that container was stolen, I've replaced it with a large cammoed pretzel container. Please be sure to rehide the cache well!! I have lots of 35mm film cannisters so you are welcome to take as many as you want! The only thing I might suggest is that you consider placing one of them as a seed cache from this cache.


This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a 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. 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: One Degree of Separation Forum Pages
