2025 Update: While originally an ODS seed cache, there are no more physical seeds here any longer. If you'd like to hide a seed cache, get in touch.
The ODS Project:
Hide, clue and container updated 05/22/22.
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 many 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.

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. The seeds can be used as is or use the log inside to start a non-micro cache. Please be creative as you camoflauge and hide the seed caches.
Many other goals will be posted on the ODS website 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.
Thank you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy point in geocaching history.

The following text should be used as the short description for the seed caches contained in this seed pod: |

"This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project.
This is a seed that came from: CacheAbel's - Lettie (GCWBKV)." |
The Cache:
Hidden in Burke Station Park, this cache is meant to be easy. If the basketball court is occupied you might need to be a bit stealthy though. What poison plants there are can be easily avoided. A few CITO canisters have been mixed in among the seeds and ODS log sheets for good measure. You do not need to leave any other items in this cache. Update 05/22/22: mostly regular swag in here now. I've moved the container to a slightly different spot, 12 paces SW from the posted coordinates. GPS is fuzzy down here so look for an unnatural pile of sticks.
Thanks to the FCPA for approving this cache. TeamRJJO is the esteemed first to find!
NOTICE: Please be respectful of the park hours. FCPA Parks are open dawn to dusk unless otherwise posted. If you enter the park after hours you are trespassing. If you are stopped you can be ticketed, or arrested and you will jeopardize the future of geocaching in the parks. Do NOT hunt this cache at night!
