Geocache Description:

Volume 2 in the Shakespeare series of caches.

**NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO ACCESS THIS CACHE FROM GARVIN HEIGHTS ROAD! Please use the parking and entrance waypoints as listed!**
**NOTE: The mosquitos were pretty nasty at the time of this placement.

As part of the Shakespeare series of caches in honor of one of the greatest writers who ever lived, and the local festival (Great River Shakespeare Festival in Winona) in his name, this cache is themed for Shakespeare's comedy, Much Ado About Nothing.

In Much Ado, Claudio falls in love with Hero, the daughter of a respectable nobleman (Leonato). An angry, bitter man, Don Pedro, decides to make trouble for Leonato and his friends, and tricks Claudio into believing that Hero has been unfaithful To teach Hero a lesson, Claudio doesn't say anything until they get to the wedding altar, where he accuses her of leachery and abandons her.

Hero's family, knowing her innocence, pretends that Hero has died of grief. When Claudio learns that he was tricked and that Hero was innocent, he is overcome with remorse.

Eventually Claudio learns the truth and he and Hero marry.

This cache location provides a wonderful view of the beautiful Woodlawn Cemetary without actually trespassing into their grounds (though the cache can be accessed from the Woodlawn grounds).

Imagine you are Claudio, watching what you think is the funeral of your beloved Hero.

Please be respectful!
