Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. And now, by popular demand (or not), this Calgary cache is for all those lovers of “The Bard”. Some (who will remain nameless) need not hunt for the cache.

The items below will help you find either words or numbers that will eventually yield a set of coordinates. Did you know that “The Bard” never used the words cache, decimal, latitude, or longitude – what a dreary life! You will have to know how to “score” and also how to add. So get out your old copies of his works and away you go. Some might look into an ‘Open Source’ (not all numbering systems are the same). So now it’s your time to bring on the History, Comedy, Tragedy and a bit of “Double, double toil and trouble” (- Macbeth Act IV Scene 1 – line 1557).

A. King John – Act II, scene 1 – line 721
B. Henry IV Part I – Act III, Scene 3 - line 2056
C. Comedy of Errors – Act I, Scene 1 – line 127
D. Othello – II, 3 – line 1524 (last word)
E. Romeo and Juliette – I, 5 – line 657
F. Julius Caesar – V, 1 – line 2403
G. Measure for Measure – I, 4 – line 403
H. As You Like It – II, 3 – line 682
I. Tempest – III, 2 – line 1409
J. Midsummer Night’s Dream – II, 2 – line 771
K. Loves Labour Lost – IV, 3 – line 1586
L. Alls Well That Ends Well – II, 3 – line 1000
M. The Winters Tail – II, 1 – line 702
N. Taming of the Shrew – Prologue, 1 – line 130
O. Merry Wives of Windsor – I, 1 – line 206
P. Henry V – I, 2 – line 206
Q. Hamlet – I, 1 – line 8
R. King Lear – I, 5 –line 911
S. Henry VI Part III – II, 5 – line 1127
T. Macbeth – III, 3 – line 1240

So in the words of Horatio, "Good night sweet" cacher, "and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

You will be looking for an ammo can with the usual cachenote, logbook, pencils, finders’ cards and a few items for trading. Please re-hide the cache carefully.

Have a bit of “toil and trouble” and most of all, fun. Good luck.
