Our very first geocache. Beware of the kids peeking out the windows at you... they might be fellow geocachers!
Note: This is supposed to be a easy grab and go cache... don't make it harder than it is: level 1!
Note: The cache has nothing to do with the black rope in the tree. The rope supports a wire antenna for the home owner's other hobby: amateur radio. He will be miffed if his antenna is let out of the tree!
This cache could be about the film...
Topaz is a 1969 suspense film directed by Alfred Hitchcock. It is a Cold War and spy story, adapted from the book of the same name by Leon Uris and closely based on the 1962 Sapphire Affair (sapphire was replaced by another jewel hence the title) involving French SDECE spy Philippe Thyraud de Vosjoli (a friend of Leon Uris) who "ha[d] played a considerable part in helping the U.S. discover the presence of Russian offensive missiles in Cuba".
Or perhaps the jewel:
Topaz is a silicate mineral of aluminium and fluorine with the chemical formula Al2SiO4(F,OH)2. Topaz crystallizes in the orthorhombic system and its crystals are mostly prismatic terminated by pyramidal and other faces. Pure topaz is colorless and transparent but is usually tinted by impurities; typical topaz is wine, yellow, pale gray or reddish-orange, blue brown. It can also be made white, pale green, blue, gold, pink (rare), reddish-yellow or opaque to transparent/translucent.
Or perhaps the name of the street. You be the judge!
Have FUN... this is supposed to be EASY!
