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.

Please email ODS Web Site
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 foreign 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 Web
Site...
Thank you for participating in what is sure to be a noteworthy
point in geocaching history.
There are currently no travel bug hotels in Hershey and several
TB's want to visit sweet places and have been unable to visit
ChocolateTown until now.
Cache is hidden along the Horse Shoe Trail, which is marked,
that goes through the Milton Hershey School campus but it's up to
you to figure out how to get there. Please don't search for cache
between dusk and dawn.
I am starting this cache off with a signature poker chip for the
FTF, a micro coin trying to visit other One Degree of Separation
caches and several TB's that need to move.
