Geocache Description:


***The above coordinates are fake. Rather than taking you to the cache, they take you to the middle of an apartment complex that you won't have access to. In order to find the cache, you must solve the following puzzle.***

'Tis the time for caching in this good Spring.
While in town proper and seeking your sport.

'Tis truly "much ado about nothing"
so do not forget to BYOP.

N Coords:
How many sonnets do we believe the good Bard wrote? Subtract 54 from this number to complete your N coordinates (N 33 46.---).

W Coords:
"Two households, both alike in dignity
In fair Verona where we lay our scene

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life."

How many iambs are in this verse? Subtract this number from 137 to complete your W coordinates (W 84 23.---).

While you search, there may be muggles about.
So remember that "the better part of valour is discretion."
Use your best stealth and replace with great care!

Weary perhaps before the cache is found,
but cachers always know "a victory is twice itself when the achiever brings home full numbers."
