Geocache Description:


While on a trip to Ohio, we found our first ODS cache and brought a seed pod home. Since the nearest ODS cache is 63.3 miles from our home coordinates, we thought this would be a good spot.

The location of this cache is fairly remote now. Many local resident have been looking forward to this exchange for a while in order to relieve growing pains. Short term parking is available very close to the cache. The experienced geocacher will spot the subtle cover up very quickly.

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.

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.

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.
