[Az-Geocaching] One Degree project?

[Guy Aldrich]

Scott,this is from my cache page and it should explain the project.I
now have a seed pod on my front porch.

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. 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

To visually see how the project grows over time check the ODS: PRIME!
geocaching profile stats at: 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.

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:
