Passing under the
trestle over the Foss River, NF-68 makes it's way up to some
magical country. You might be lucky and see a train pass high
over above. You won't be anywhere near the tracks nor any
part of the trestle itself. Yes, it's a micro in the woods,
but you won't need to search in any tree or under any rock.
It's easy! Stay along south side of this object and reflect
on where it could be hidden. Reach up and feel it - that's
all it takes.
Here's what the "One Degree of Separation" cache series is
all about:
|
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. |

project, the Small World Theory or to visually see how the project

Many other goals will be posted 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
foreign 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.

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. |
