The Seed Pod Hider's Pledge

[Snoogans]

Quite a bit of time and effort (not to mention money) was expended to prepare 200+ seed pods containing 10,000+ micro, seed caches to give away at the main One Degree of Separation event on 5/26/06.

It was a volunteer effort and the volunteers did this in hopes of seeing their namesake seed pod caches travel far and wide.

We fully expect 50% (or more) of the micro caches to disappear and never be hidden as a cache in this project, but we would like to see all of the seed pods hidden within 6 months of the event and linked to this forum.

Those who sign up for this forum and post a response to this thread will be assured to receive a seed pod cache, on the day of the event, no matter what time you arrive. A cache will be saved for you until the last minute of the event.

By signing up for this forum and posting to this thread you are pledging to hide the seed pod cache that you receive with the namesake of the volunteer who prepared it for you. You further pledge to hide the cache using the ODS template, within 6 months of the event and link it to this forum.

Please post a brief note to this thread to show the volunteers that their time and effort was worthwhile.

Thanks on behalf of all the volunteers.

I'll do one! Not sure what the ODS template is but I'm sure I'll have someone fill me in.

I'm currently writing the template. It's not finished yet.

Let me see if I understand. We are to take the PODs to our "local" area and from there others will take the seeds to other locations.

Will there be multiple PODs available to each person?

Also I have an international trip coming up. Will these PODs be allowed to be placed outside our normal local area?

Yes.

No. We wish to disperse the pods as widely as possible. You will need to TRY to hide your seed pod at least 20 miles (as the crow flies) from any other seed pod already hidden in your area. The seeds themselves can go anywhere.

If all 200+ seed pod caches don't get adopted at the main event, the remainder will be available during GW4 the next day.

Vacation caches are not allowed on GC.com. You must be able to maintain your cache.
