Hippo in Greek is horse; so hippophobia is the fear
of horses, which are not allowed on the Cannon Valley Trail
although they are allowed on similar trails. You may find some in
the pasture nearby and occasionally on the Sunset Trail.
Hippophobia is not to be confused with hippopotomophobia,
the fear of hippopotamuses, i.e. 'water horses' as potomo is
Greek for 'of the water', which is it to be confused with
pototo, which is Greek for potatoes.
Directions: The coordinates will take you to a spot along
the trail just to the south of the signs for the River Terrace
Natural Area, which runs along the north side of the trail. From
there proceed west along the trail for 40 paces. There will be a
long log in the ditch on the south side of the trail. Find the east
end of the log. Just across the ditch in a tree cluster is the
cache.
