Geocache Description:

The oldest church in the area, Peace Church was founded in 1825. It was used jointly by German and Irish Catholics and German Lutherans until the Catholics built their own facilities. The attached cemetery, contains the graves of many of the oldest families and first settlers of Sullivan County.

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE AREA AND THOSE RESTING THERE! ALL THE LAND SURROUNDING THE CHURCH & CEMETERY IS POSTED PRIVATE PROPERTY - BEWARE!


This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a micro seed that came from: One Degree of Separation: ROTHSTAFARI by Team Gamps (GCX7W4)

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: ODS Web Site

To visually see how the project grows over time check the ODS: PRIME! geocaching profile stats at: ODS Web Site

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...
