This cache is inspired by Shakespeare's comedy The
Tempest. As I was exploring this park, I was drawn to a
special spot. At this spot, the sounds and the sights reminded me a
bit of the storm in The Tempest. It makes me think of an
illustration I saw with Prospero standing on the rocks surrounded
by swirling water, holding up his staff. A synopsis of the play as
well as the full text can be found here. There have been several television adaptations
and even a few movie adaptations of The Tempest, but none
have really been noteworthy.
"Look he's winding up the watch of his
wit; by and by it will strike."
(Act II, Scene I)
Like all my other Shakespeare caches, you do not have to read
the play to find the cache.
Why A Redux?
This cache and one nearby - Coriolanus - have had a lot of
muggling problems since I first put them out. First, I tried making
them premium caches and they were still muggled almost as soon as I
repaired them. I now believe these caches are being intentionally
muggled. I'm using a complex puzzle to keep their location further
shrouded. Normally, I would just archive these caches, but I'm
trying to keep them alive for those who are trying to finish the
series.
The Special Spot
Make your way to the Tempest at the posted coordinates and take
some time to enjoy the sights and sounds. Raise your hiking staff
and imagine yourself as Prospero.
The Puzzle
This puzzle is difficult to solve. I will give no hints or
guidance to anyone until you have twenty or more of my other
Shakespeare caches. Once you have found the prerequisite number of
caches, I will give you as much help as you want.

Please Note
- Although night caching is not prohibited, parking and the trail
head are visible from private residences. So I don't recommend
night caching.
- Since this is a replacement for the original cache, you
do not have to find this cache if you found the original as far as
the Shakespeare series is concerned.
