Phobia #10 Traditional Geocache
OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.
Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

This cache is hidden in a small park called Indian Acres park. If you blink you'll miss the entrance to it. I've lived around this area for 36 years and just discovered this park in the last year. Weird! The cache is a 35 mm film container in disguise, hidden 40 feet off a trail. ONLY the film container opens. Tell me if the coords are ridiculously off, reception was awful. You'll need a pen/pencil.
APIPHOBIA: The word "apiphobia" comes from "api-" from the Greek "apis" meaning bee + "phobia" from the Greek "phobos" meaning fear = literally, fear (of) bee(s). Apiphobia is also called melissophobia, since "melissa" is another Greek word for bee.
