Geocache Description:


I am placing a series of puzzle caches about people whom I admire. All final coords are easy terrain, often P&Gs. Regading the road you will find yourself on: I walk it with my dog. In fact, that is how I hid the caches, taking a walk with Zammis. Who is of a certain age that remembers the whole family gathering around the television to watch "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau"? I watched that show avidly. He was another great explorer and inventor. Answer the following questions about Jacques to get the final coordinates.  

1. Which is NOT true? Jacques...  

- developed the Aqua-Lung (aka SCUBA) (266)

- developed waterproof cameras (174)

- started underwater archaeology (590)  

- developed the first Remotely Operated Vehicle (408)

2. During WWII Jacques did NOT...  

- fight in the French Navy (924)

- join the resistance and spied on Italian forces (772)

- place underwater mines in Noumea (335)  

The answers to the questions can be found here: Jacques Cousteau

The final coordinates are: 

N 43* 47. (answer to #1)

W 070* 59. (answer to #2)
