In order to play you must complete any of the following:
1. Attend an official One Degree of Separation event.
2. Adopt and hide a seed pod from an official One Degree of Separation event.
To properly hide a seed pod you MUST use its given adoption name and link the cache page to this message board by putting the web address of this board in the blank for "users webpage."
3. Find and log a hidden seed pod.
4. Hide a micro seed cache that you get from a seed pod.
To properly hide a micro seed cache you MUST name it "One Degree of Separation: (your username)" or "One Degree: (your username)" and link the cache page to this message board by putting the web address of this board in the blank for "users webpage." Please mention the seed pod that you took your seed cache from on the cache page.
5. Find and log a micro seed cache.
Everyone who finds one of these caches will be at one degree of separation from every other geocacher who logs a cache that originated from this project.

Is there a "Standard" format for the cache page. Also can it be any type of cache? ie. Traditional, Multi, or Puzzle?

Is there a "Standard" format for the cache page. Yes, everyone will use waypoint GCVR2F (One Degree of Separation: ODS PRIME!) as a basic template when it is activated on 5/26. You can add anything else you like after you cut and paste the template. Also can it be any type of cache? ie. Traditional, Multi, or Puzzle? I would hope that they are hidden in all forms and on ALL geocache listing sites.

"2. Adopt and hide a seed pod from an official One Degree of Separation event."
Are there any in the St.Louis Missouri area? Will there be an event where we can pick up a cache in the St.Louis area?
I would like to help out with this it looks like a cool idea.
Thanks Tim

I would like to help out with this it looks like a cool idea. Thanks Tim Hi! Thanks for your positive response. It took over 500 man hours and between $500-$600 to prepare the 300 seed pods and 12,500+ seeds from three years worth of materials gathering. I doubt we'll see another ODS event happen, but I won't rule it out. There are resources like freecycle.com and government surplus bidding on cheap lots of ammo cans that could make another branch of this project take off, but sadly, the Snoogstress would probably disown me if I were to try such an undertaking again. I would certainly sanction another group to try if I was approached. The more the merrier. The heart of this project is community building and the goal is to have the majority of Geocachers just One degree from the next anywhere in the world.

If I am reading correctly - there is no requiement that a seed micro be placed/hidden at least 1 degree (approx 60 miles) from the seed pod? It appears that normal GC spacing requirements are adequate. Is this correct?

Given the proximity of all these caches so far, there is no way I'm going to qualify for any of the requirements. Is there another option available to me, so I can spread the love up in the MT/WY/ID/ND/SD areas?

well.... I just received a seed pod here in Central Wyoming, so there will be at least one seed pod placed within a short day drive from you.

Can I make a seed pod from the seed I picked up! I've been thinking long and hard on this question and the answer is "Yes." It is in keeping with the spirit of the project, so why not? I'm ONLY expecting about 20% participation on the 13,000 caches already released and I'm not the least bit anal so certainly go ahead. If that's how you want to participate then GREAT. I'm still making and releasing pods as materials become available to me anyway.... I will eat a bug if the number of caches placed in this project ever tops 13,000 caches. *crosses fingers behind back*

After reading a bunch of the stuff, I'm still confused. How do we get a cache from a seed pod to place way out here in Battle Ground WA 98604? So far I havent even found a cache that came from the seed pod anywhere in my general area. thanks Russ

I just found a ODS cache. Can I create my own even though I do not have a pod?
