The cache is a bison tube with only a log. Please bring your own writing utensil.I was out caching a few weeks ago and ran into a huge spider web. For the rest of the day I could still feel the sticky strands all over me even though I knew I had brushed it all away. I was also sure that web’s owner was a 6 inch, harry, fanged monster that was sitting on my shoulder and ready to inject me with lethal venom. As irrational as that was, I just could not shake the creepy feeling all day, and that is the inspiration for this cache.
From Wikipedia: Around 50% of women and 10% of men have mild arachnophobia
Though most arachnids are harmless, a person with arachnophobia may still panic or feel uneasy around one. Sometimes, even an object resembling a spider can trigger a panic attack in an arachnophobic individual. People with arachnophobia tend to feel uneasy in any area they believe could harbor spiders or that has visible signs of their presence, such as webs. If arachnophobics see a spider they may not enter the general vicinity until they have overcome the panic attack that is often associated with their phobia. In some extreme cases, even a picture or a realistic drawing of a spider can also evoke fear.
08/04/2018 By KA&JWest Ms. Anne and I headed up to the Turkey Creek area to look for a few caches in between showers.
I was a bit disconcerted when I saw where the app was pointing. But there was a bit of a trail, and no problem finding it! I got rained on heading back up to where I parked the car.
Signed the log KAJW. Took nothing. Left nothing. Thanks for the cache! Logged from my Galaxy S8 using the Geocaching App.
