Geocache Description:

The 007 Series is a string of caches laid out mainly along Arkansas Hwy 31 and the side roads between Lonoke and Beebe to honor the world’s favorite British secret agent, James Bond.  These caches are not intended to be overly difficult and are great for cachers looking for numbers and a nice drive along a little stretch of country back roads.


On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) is the sixth spy film in the James Bond series, based on the 1963 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming. Following the decision of Sean Connery to retire from the role after You Only Live Twice, Eon Productions selected an unknown actor and model, George Lazenby, to play the part of James Bond. During the making of the film, Lazenby decided that he would play the role of Bond only once.

While driving in Portugal, James Bond is intrigued by a women who speeds past him in a car. A moment later he spots her empty car, and using a pair of binoculars, he sees her walking into the sea, attempting to drown herself. Bond drives down to save her, and is confronted by three men. The women manages to drive away before Bond can end the fight.

Bond returns to his hotel and sees the womens car again, finding out from the hotel staff that she is Contessa Teresa Di Vicenzo. The two meet at a baccarat table, where Teresa ("Tracy") is gambling with money she doesn't have. Bond pretends that they were gambling partners, and pays off her debt.

The next morning, Bond is kidnapped at gunpoint, and taken to the home of Marc-Ange Draco, the head of the Union Corse, the largest criminal organization in Europe. Draco reveals that he is Tracy's father, and offers Bond a million pound dowry for marrying his daughter. Bond declines the offer, but agrees to stay friendly with Tracy, if Draco will reveal the location of Ernst Stavro Blofeld.

Bond meets up with Draco and Tracy at Draco's birthday celebration, and Tracy forces her father to reveal the information on Blofeld, thinking that that is Bond's only interest. Tracy storms out crying, and Bond follows, telling her that he wasn't dating her just to get her fathers information.

Bond breaks into the lawyers office of a client he suspects to be Blofeld, and photocopies documents obtained from cracking the lawyers safe. He discovers that Blofeld is claiming to be a Count, and is seeking legal confirmation from the London College of Arms. In the photocopied letter, Blofeld's lawyer is requesting that genealogist Sir Hilary Bray take a visit to Blofeld's Swiss allergy research center to confirm is claim.

Bond goes to the College of Arms and asks for their assistance, so that Bond can go to Switzerland, posing as Hilary Bray. He convinces them to help him, and meets Blofeld's henchwomen Irma Bunt, who takes Bond by cable car to a secluded facility high up in the Swiss Alps. Bond tries to lure Blofeld out of Switzerland on the pretence of requiring Blofeld's presence in his family archives. Blofeld refuses, and Bond's identity is eventually revealed, when he gets caught sneaking into a girls room at night.

Bond is locked in the mechanical room of the cable car, but manages to escape, stealing some skis and making his way down the mountain. He meets Tracy at the bottom, at an ice rink, and drives to an old barn, to spend the night. Bond proposes to Tracy, and the two become engaged to be married. The next morning, Blofeld arrives at the barn, and the two try to escape by skiing through the hillside.

Before Tracy and Bond manage to escape, Blofeld sets of a flare, triggering an avalance that traps Tracy. Bond manages to get away, but Tracy is taken hostage by Blofeld, who tries to make her into his mistress. Using a small army of hypnotized girls from across the country, Blofeld plans to infect crops and animals, demanding a ransom from the government.

In the meantime, Bond goes back to M, who refuses to set up an operation to storm Piz Gloria. Bond calls Draco, and storms Blofelds facility with an aerial attack, pretending to be Red Cross rescue workers, so that they can get close enough to land. Draco dynamites the facility, and Bond escapes, pursuing Blofeld in a bobsled chase.

Bond escapes to safety, while Blofeld is left hanging from a tree branch, with an injured neck. Assuming Blofeld had died, Bond leaves for England, to prepare for his wedding. Tracy and Bond marry, and drive off in their Aston Martin. Bond decides that their are too many flowers attached to the car, and pulls over to remove them. While he is doing so, Blofeld drives by in a car, and shoots at them both, killing Tracy in the process. Bond holds her, and softly says "We have all the time in the world", reflecting on his prior hope that the two would be together forever.

I hope you have just as much finding them as I did hiding them.  If you find any of the caches along the way in need of attention, please contact me via my GC.com profile.
