Geocache Description:

Aquaphobia is an abnormal and persistent fear of water.

Can you get this cache without getting wet?

I doubt it.

I do believe that this cache is probably still there but the location is totally changed due to some beavers hard at work. They built a dam right on top of the cache. Instead of completely disabling, I am changing Difficulty and Terrain ratings to reflect current conditions. Hopefully, the town or county will remove dam and make it more easily findable again.

From Wikipedia
[1] Aquaphobia is a specific phobia that involves a level of fear that is beyond the patient's control or that may interfere with daily life.

[2] People suffer aquaphobia in many ways and may experience it even though they realize the water in an ocean, a river, or even a bathtub poses no imminent threat. They may avoid such activities as boating and swimming, or they may avoid swimming in the deep ocean despite having mastered basic swimming skills.

[3] This anxiety commonly extends to getting wet or splashed with water when it is unexpected, or being pushed or thrown into a body of water.


Cache is a small waterproof container. Contains pencil and write in the rain paper and not much else. Only has room for small TB's and coins.
New container doesn't "stick" as well as the original. Please ensure it is attached well.


Also, a special shout out to fellow cacher, JustDewIt, for making room available to place this cache.
