Geocache Description:


Friends, Romans, geocachers, Lend me your GPS.  I come to hide a cache, not to praise it!  The evil that hides in a hide lives long after the find.To find this cache, you must brush up on your Shakespeare and in particular, his play Julius Caesar.  The answers should be available on Wikipedia.  

The final is in a fitting location, but use great stealth as there are eyes all about.  You must bring your own writing device as there is little room.  All you need to do to solve this puzzle is to answer the questions for

   N29' LC.HGA and W95 4(F-M).BD(E-J)

CD = The play Julius Caesar was first performed in 15CD.
