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.

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.
This is a log only cache, BYOP and good luck.
