007 Series: Aristotle Kristatos Traditional Cache

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.

Aristotle Kristatos is a Greek smuggler and intelligence informant who appears in the Ian Fleming short story Risico and the 1981 film, For Your Eyes Only. The role was played by Julian Glover. Generally regarded as a hero for his bravery in World War II and the Greek Civil War that followed, Kristatos was actually a double agent during both conflicts. Though he appeared to be a respectable businessman in the years thereafter, he was in fact a heroin smuggler and a Soviet agent. He developed a blood feud with rival smuggler Milos Columbo, whom he had served with, and betrayed, during the war.

Kristatos is the villain of the movie. His goal is the recovery of the ATAC decoding device for sale to General Gogol. He is eventually killed by Columbo atop St. Cyrils.

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.
