Geocache Description:


Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath borne me on his back a thousand times, and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. —Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now to mock your own grinning? Quite chapfallen? Now get you to my lady’s chamber and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favor she must come. Make her laugh at that.—Prithee, Horatio, tell me one thing.


This cache is an homage to Half-Canadian and Scooter the Wonder Dog, also known as the volunteer reviewer Wizard of Ooze and event host extraordinaire funbeach. Laurie is sadly no longer with us, but is remembered with love by all who knew her well. Her many contributions to the world of geocaching live on in the quality caches she placed and reviewed, the memories of events she hosted, and the kind words she shared with so many of us. The unique host here came from her collection, and it inspired this cache. I think she would approve.
