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.

project and the Small World Theory go to: (Visit

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.
- To have an active ODS cache hidden on ALL 7
continents.
- To have an ODS cache hidden
in all 50 states.
- 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.
- 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.
The following information
should be used as the the short description for the seed caches
contained in each seed pod:
This cache was hidden as
part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a
seed that came from: (One Degree of Separation:
Sparky).
Warning: Do not
attempt to access this cache by parking along the highway. There is
a side road that will take you to within 50’ of the cache
location.
