Geocache Description:


You should be able to pull well off the road near GZ, be aware of traffic as people fly up and down this road. 

The expression “What’s in a name?” originates from William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet, specifically Juliet’s famous speech in Act II, Scene II. She reflects that names themselves hold no intrinsic value—Romeo would still be the same person she loves even if he weren’t called “Montague.”

Origin and Context

  • Play: Romeo and Juliet (written around 1595–1597).
  • Scene: Act II, Scene II (the famous balcony scene).
  • Speaker: Juliet Capulet.
  • Line: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

Juliet is lamenting the fact that Romeo belongs to the rival Montague family. She argues that his name is just a label and does not define his essence or worth. A rose, she says, would smell just as sweet even if it were called something else.
