Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On...


Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On...

A famous line, often misquoted, taken from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'. It is part of a speech spoken by Prospero to Ferdinand just before he marries Miranda, Prospero's daughter.

This cache is easy to find and when you open it you'll find a stack of puzzles inside along with the other swag. Please take one.

Each puzzle consists of a piece of paper scored and cut so that it folds along vertical and horizontal lines. You have to fold it so that you get the picture shown here, with all parts of the image the right way up and in view:

Once you have this picture, turn the puzzle over and you'll see 6 numbers on the back, shown here as letters; ABC in one row and DEF below.

Those six numbers are the last three digits of the latitude and longitude you need to complete the bonus cache coordinates:

N 30° 14.ABC W 97° 47.DEF.

There's only one solution, if you can see the complete picture then you've found it!

There's a puzzle for every finder - take it home and solve it at your leisure...

This cache is hidden in the greenbelt near to the popular entry point of Loop 360 with a small parking lot, keep to the main trail until you get close. Minor bushwhacking is only required for the last 40ft.

Please replace the container as you found it and make sure you close it securely.

This cache series is based on Prosperos' speech from Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' spoken to Ferdinand, Act IV Scene I

 

You do look, my son, in a moved sort,
As if you were dismayed. Be cheerful, sir.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air.
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself—
Yea, all which it inherit—shall dissolve,
And like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
Sir, I am vexed.
Bear with my weakness. My old brain is troubled.
Be not disturbed with my infirmity.
If you be pleased, retire into my cell
And there repose. A turn or two I’ll walk
To still my beating mind.

Enjoy the puzzle, and don't get shipwrecked!
