Geocache Description:

O is for ODS O’Shaunessey Site by spaceteacher

A series of caches featuring North Alabama area, one letter at a time. Find as many of the series as you can, and if you get all twenty-six, email me for a special prize.

This is a fabulous rock wall built during Reconstruction, just after the Civil War. There is absolutely no reason to dismantle this wall-enjoy the beauty and realize it has been here about 150 years. This wall is similar to one in a North Georgia park, although newspaper accounts indicate it was built for a wedding the Fearn girls were in.

Permit and permission given from Monte Sano State Park staff.

One Degree of Separation Project: This cache was hidden as part of the One Degree of Separation Geocaching Project. This is a seed that came from: GCWWTM - ODS:CaverScott & CaverJules.

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

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
