Yorick

Yorick is a travel bug that would like to visit caches that are in or near graveyards. Humor him by making a short note in his little log book, which should travel with him. He would be particularly pleased to reach a graveyard cache in Denmark, where the play Hamlet is set, or in England, where the playwright made his home.

About This Item

In the famous graveyard scene, Hamlet finds the skull of Yorick, the beloved court jester from his childhood. Holding the skull aloft, he speaks these words:


"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 chopfallen? 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"

Act V, scene 1 of Shakespeare’s Hamlet

We dropped Yorick Off in this cache located at a very old cemetery in Alabama. It is very interesting to see this bit of history.
