Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the given coordinates. The cache is a gallon plastic jar hidden in a volcano. The cache contains toys, fishing gear, trinkets, Ian Flemming's "Dr. No" book. And an unregistered silver "Caching Time" Compass Geocoin for the FTF!

This is Agent 007's final mission. M has sent James Bond to finally kill Blofeld.



Ernst Stavro Blofeld is James Bond's archenemy. A terrorist mastermind, he is the leader of SPECTRE.
Little is known of Blofeld's genesis beyond that following the Second World War he assembled a vast array of criminals into an organization bent on theft, assassination, and conquest, hence the organization's acronym Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion.
Blofeld and his organization first crossed paths with Bond when, investigating the murder of a chief of section in the Bahamas, Bond discovered Dr. No and his island fortress, from which he interfered with the guidance systems of United States missiles using a nuclear powered radio transmitter. Blofeld is not seen , but Dr. No states his membership in SPECTRE and even briefly considers whether Bond is worthy of an invitation.
Blofeld's plans have been consistently foiled and frustrated by James Bond, often with the help of allies such as the US Army and Japan's Special Intelligence Service headed by "Tiger" Tanaka. His physical stature is frequently changing, due to his obsession with changing identities. He is always seen petting a white Persian cat but other physical traits, such as a scar over one eye, have been changed surgically.
He operated in secret until James Bond first saw his face in the You Only Live Twice mission. He has proven hard to kill, frequently escaping fatal situations of one sort or another, only to return and bedevil Bond years later.
Blofeld had a short temper, and frequently demonstrated displeasure with the failures of subordinates by murdering them, often using misdirection and sometimes using painful and unusual methods to carry out these executions.
Blofeld's arguably most ambitions scheme ever, came when he supervised a plan that used a space vehicle capable of entering orbit and effecting a controlled landing. He ran all of this from an enormous base constructed within the caldera of an extinct volcano, with the goal of causing the two superpowers (the USA and the USSR) to war upon each other. It is in this volcano, with its fake lake on top, that Blofeld has hidden from Bond.
To find the where Blofelds Volcano is located you must become James Bond agent 007.
You must complete six missions. Dr No, From Russia With Love., Goldfinger, Thunderball, Live and Let Die, and Octopussy. The objective of each mission is to retrieve the Geo-codes from each cache and use them in the corresponding Geo-math problem. The answer of each will give you part of the coordinates for finding Blofeld.
