Geocache Description:




Insulaphobia
( In sue la pho bee ah)
Fear of Islands

Conquer your phobias before they conquer you !!

The origin of "Insulaphobia" is from Latin - Insula (island) and Greek - phobia (fear).

One way to overcome a phobia is to gradually and repeatedly expose the subject to what is feared.
The idea is that with enough repeated exposures, the person will feel an ever increasing sense of control.
After multiple exposures, the anxiety and therefore the phobia will diminish.

Insulophobiacs experience increased anxiety as they travel onto islands or enter isolated areas!
Sufferers of Insulaphobia may avoid islands or any routes that will take them near or onto islands.
They may constrict their social lives in such a way that they do not allow themselves to engage in any activities involving Islands or isolated areas.

This cache is placed on a forested island in the Flathead River flood zone.
Permission has been granted for my cache placements on this island and on the island directly to the north.
The gracious property owner has asked that we practice our CITO duties (trash collection).
Please bring a trash bag and collect any litter that you may find.

The islands can be accessed from the parking area at the east end of East Reserve Drive.

At certain times of the year, access to this cache may require a raft, kayak or canoe.
This is why the terrain rating is a 5.

At other times, when the river is low, you can actually walk right out to the island!
For this the terrain rating would be a 2.5.
PLEASE BE SAFE and use good judgement.
Do not attempt wading if the water level is very high.
For shallow wading route see picture in the gallery

This should be a fairly easy cache for those who aren't "Insulaphobiacs" !

First to find prize is inside a pink zip-lock below the cache.

Have fun!
And conquer your fobias !!
