The Ides of March -- Beware Them Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

monkeymo: The 3 mile bridge construction project is now going full bore, and the area of the final location is fenced off. It's unclear what the access to the location is, so I am archiving this and will try to find an accessible location

Caesar:  Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!'   Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Soothesayer:  Beware the nanos of March.
Caesar:  What man is that?
Brutus:  A soothsayer bids you beware the nanos of March.
Caesar: What meaneth he?? Beware the nano?
Brutus: He bids you bring a tweezer and pen.

 
Congratulations to the kabjet team for coming out
