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.
There is no obligation to participate. Just sign the log if that's as far as you want to go.....
A short hike off of 395 near Dead Man Pass. OR, for easy access take the Bald Mountain Lookout turn off and double back to the left to the power line road and follow it until you're closer to the cache. The google satellite image shows the dirt road very clearly. You can just walk from Bald Mtn. Road if you're uncomfortable with offread driving or using the ample shoulder of 395.
This cache was named for my sister and bro-in-law (visit link) that live in (lucky so and so's) Mammoth Lakes. Don't let their stats fool ya. They have found at least a hundred caches or more, but they could care less about spending the time on the computer to log them. Geocaching is just a fun diversion on trips for them. To each their own. I owe a great debt of thanks to them for maintaining my caches in this area for over 3 years. THANKS GUYS!
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.

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.
#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.
