a mAjor ArgumeNT is bACON’s wIDe RANGe OF KnoWledgE, EsPEciALLy rEGarDING legAl mAtterS. thE knOWLeDGe dISPlAYed In sHakEspeArE’S Plays shows deep, extensive knowledge that only Bacon had. Many particulars in the plays coincide with facts in the life of Bacon but not in the life of Shakespeare. Opinions expressed in the plays are known to match Bacon’s personal opinions. Observations of character and human nature agree, to the smallest detail, with Bacon’s observations on the “Art of Discerning Character”.

Scientific errors based on Bacon’s theories are found in the plays, as well as errors in quotations and alterations in the use of words. Studies of Bacon at known periods of his life are introduced into plays at about the same time period. Where there are several editions of the same play, the latter edition reflects Bacon’s increased knowledge and new interests.

The vocabulary of Bacon and Shakespeare is, to a surprising degree, the same. Bacon’s most familiar expressions of speech are common in the plays, although not in common to the language of the period. Combinations of two or three of Bacon’s ideas often appear in one sentence or passage, presented with a similar linking or combination of words. A large collection of similes, metaphors, and figurative forms of speech are found to be shared by the two. Superstitions and religious beliefs and opinions traceable in the plays are plainly acknowledged by Bacon.

Finally, another claim states that concealed messages claiming the authorship of Shakespearean plays can be found within the plays themselves. Compelling evidence or mere coincidence? It’s up to you to research the matter in depth and figure it out for yourself.

The cache contains a log book and $1 for the FTF. You will need to bring your own pen. The cache is easily accessible.

I've been seing this for years and finally got it today. I was here to do the wereigo of Clan Riffster with him his sister and capn-jack.It took a bit of a search but we finally found it. There was a fire ant mound nearby that we really had to watch out for. Is this original cache? It's in good shape. Thanks for the hide

What a lot of fun. I was barking up the wrong tree for a long time with the puzzle, but had the "DUH" moment and all was well. Found the cache pretty quickly. Nice area. Thanks for the fun!

Fun puzzle. I've seen this before a few times, so it wasn't too bad. Fortunately we also found it quickly. Thanks.

I was planning a run in the area and had no idea how to solve the puzzle so I begged the owner and it worked. I got the co ords and set out last week, leaving them safe on my desk. Today I got back on a picture perfect day and made the find only to find that some very clever cacher actually figured it out and found it 3 days earlier. Well the cache is doing just fine despite it's infrequent finding. Thanks WILCO66. SFOR 6
