Geocache Description:

Oct. 24, 2022 Now this cache is again in a tall stump at new coordinates. It is a sandwich-sized lock 'n lock hidden in the tall stump. There are not any seed caches here however, my supply of film cannisters ran out years ago.

Oct. 29, 2018 This cache is now replaced about 153' from it's original spot. It isn't far from the road and it's a nice easy walk to it. Look for the large log by a stump. Please replace it back inside and replace the piece of wood blocking the hole. I placed 2 small containers that can be used for a cache for the first couple of new finders. This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a seed cache, meaning you are meant to take one of the ready made micro caches inside of it and hide it yourself. No trading is required. Just come take a cache and hide it using the proper title format and utilizing the seed cache template that you will find at the project website or at the bottom of this page. There is no obligation to participate. Just sign the log if that's as far as you want to go.....

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

Please email ODS Web Site when you plant your seed, so he can add your cache to the ever growing network of caches placed in this project.

Many other goals will be posted as the project grows, but here are a few.
