Geocache Description:


The cache title is considered by some to be the longest word in the old English Language, having 26 letters. It has an actual meaning rather than just being created to be long.

By definition, it means 'opposition to the disetablishment of the Church of England'. Recorded in early church history are the saints that wanted to lay emphasis to apostolic succession. Thus, the roots oforigin of the Church of England began near the turn of the 6th century. Nearly 1,000 years later, King Henry VIII was turned down in his request to the Church to permit him to annul his second marriage. For him, this was a 'turn off', so he decided to create his on church. This contributed to the development of the Church of England (Anglican Church) as it is now established. The title of this cache actually supports the continued preeminence of the Church of England.

Now, concerning the cache. It is an ammo located in a secluded and isolated part of the forest, in a local area of fairly gentle terrain. There is an unstable and dangerous cliff, however, that separates this area from the suggested trail of entry into this area. Cross country hiking and some bushwacking will be necessary to reach the cache.

Suggested parking in Day Use Parking Area at approx. N48* 30.018, W122* 41.453, and trailhead at N48* 30.156, W122* 41.423. Proceed north and east along this rather level trail on a grade above the beach line. Be careful of the dropoffs below, and do not attempt to climb the cliff above but proceed past the point where your GPS arrow would point up the cliff. The slope above becomes much gentler as you walk farther along. There you can leave the grade and remnants of the trail, and climb back up through the woods, gaining elevation above the cliff and finally reaching the cache site.

There is an unactivated Sooner coin waiting for one of the first finders.
