Aquaphobia is an abnormal and persistent fear of water.

Can you get this cache without getting wet?

I doubt it.
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.

Down in Parker for lunch at Chicken Shack with FeartheFish. I've thought about doing this one for a while and since it was a warm day decided today was the day even though I didn't bring along the proper footwear. Out to get the cache and found the container which was full of water. Log paper seems waterproof (but maybe also ink proof). Drained the water out, made an attempt at signing the log and put everything back in place. Give it a fav for a refreshing experience. TFTC!

I found this cache searching for higher difficulty caches that would fit into empty spots on my D/T grid. This seemed quite intriguing, and I had high expectations for it. Nevertheless, it fit the bill as it was AWESOME! I was running around all day today grabbing caches and even attended a CITO event. By 3:00 it was 85 degrees and I was hot and sweaty and ready for a break. This cache seemed like a treat. I brought my aqua shoes just for the occasion. Wow, it was sooo refreshing to take a dip. I didn't want to leave.
The cache was easy enough to grab, the hardest part is being careful of the rocks and not getting tripped up. I'm sure the log is made of special water proof paper, because the container had a good inch of water in it, but it still seemed okay.
I'll remember this one for a long time, it deserves a fav point of mine. Cheers!

Now that was a fun one! I had mukluks but the water was knee deep and just poured down in my boots. On a warm summer day though there was no concern for freezing my legs off. Took a minute to locate. It was harder though trying to stand and not fall over while signing the log. Tftc!

We have seen this on the map for sometime. We came by a few weeks back and attempted this cache. We were unsuccessful.
However today was the day!! We planned this cache last night to come today and we were going to make a video. Ironically The GeoCache Challenge of the month came out this morning and it is find a cache that is just out of reach. We thought this is perfect!! We got the GZ and this time we were successful!! This was an awesome cache. We have been wanting to do a water cache hide of our own. Favorite point awarded.
Keeping our streak alive. Thanks for placing this cache and keeping our recreation going. SL/with PoshCacher/MagicCacher.Tftc

Woo Hoo! I've looked at this spot for years every time we rode past on the horses. Finally talked the huggle into coming prepared today in an attempt to get this off my map. It was very cold but he took the plunge. Success! See the photo!

Finally getting this one of my to do list!!! Thanks for putting it back up, I was prepared for the ice water today but I was surprised by how much volume there was with the lack of snow fall this year, I thought I would make quick work of it after not finding it almost 2 years ago and coming today with my fishing waders and knowing about where it was supposed to be, but wow water was COLD!!! Thanks again for the fun,
