I picked up my micro container ready-made for caching from GCY0RA
on a trip to Ashland. I thought they had a neat idea, so I decided
to play along. The idea is that when you find their regular cache,
you take one of their micro containers (the only swag in their
cache) and place a cache of your own. Eventually, their
grand-caches are spread all over the place.
My cache is just off a "sidewalk" in an area where I've never
seen a pedestrian in over 20 years. The "parking strip" is more of
a mini-greenspace, so there is a little bit of isolation from
traffic (probably moreso in spring and summer).
I've rated it 1.5 because the paving/levelness of the "sidewalk"
is perhaps the worst I've ever seen. 30+ year old asphalt, lots of
bumps from roots etc. The cache is maybe 5 feet off the
pavement.
There isn't any parking especially nearby, probably the best
choice is Arctic Drive or else one of the shopping centers. From
there, it would be less than a 10 minute walk to the cache
location. Even better, this would be an easy one for caching by
bike.
Have Fun!

This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation
Geocaching Project. This is a seed that came from: One Degree Of
Separation - Snoogan's 5 GCY0RA.
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).
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.
My
own guess for the rating of this cache is H24131; however,
route surface is paved (asphalt with tree root bumps) until
the last 5 feet.
