I was driving down the road during a Fathers Day drive when I
happened to see a small monument as I went by. I just had to back
up to investigate it. It turned out to be an Eagle Scout project
telling about a little of the history in the area. This cache was
hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project.
This is a seed that came from: Manoahman - One Degree of
Separation.
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: (visit link) To visually

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.
Hope you enjoy the cache and the monument because who knows how
many drive by it and don't even know its there!
