This cache is inspired by Shakespeare's tragedy Julius
Caesar. A synopsis of the play as well as the full text can
be found here.
"Cowards die many times before their
deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the
wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men
should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it
will come". (Act II, Scene II)
I drive past this cemetery often and it draws my attention every
time I pass. I finally stopped one day to check out the headstones
and see if I could piece together some story. I didn't find any
interesting stories, but I did find one interesting date. One of
the residents here died on a date that plays a key role in this
play.
The Puzzle
To find the cache, find the headstone of person who died on the
key date from the play. Use the age of that person when they died
plus 223 as the magnetic heading to the cache. The
cache is located in the stone wall. You don't have to move
any stones to find the cache although it may be covered by
leaves or sticks. If the person's age is an even number, it is best
to search from inside the cemetery; otherwise, it is best to search
from outside the cemetery.
I am always willing to give as much help as
needed to solve my puzzles. Puzzles are meant to be solved, caches
