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.

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.

This seed is a match container hidden in a very high traffic
area. With all of the vehicle and train traffic you should find the
cache area normally muggle free. Follow the concrete path from
either side of K-15 to the cache.
