Geocache Description:

It is with great honor I bestow upon you this cache!


Honorificabilitudinitatibus is the dative and ablative plural of the mediaeval Latin word honorificabilitudinitas, which can be translated as "the state of being able to achieve honors". It is mentioned by the character Costard in Act V, Scene I of William Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. As it appears only once in Shakespeare's works, it is a hapax legomenon in the Shakespeare canon. It is also the longest word in the English language featuring alternating consonants and vowels.


The Cache: Walk behind the line of trees. The cache is located in the fork of a narrow evergreen tree, about four feet up, right behind the corner of the curb.
