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.
This seed pod was obtain at: GCTVHQ One Degree of Separation
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.
The following information should be used as the the short
description for the seed caches contained in each seed pod:
This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation
Geocaching Project. This is a seed that came from: GCYV9J
