This cache was placed by Chuck Mettille of team gncaz. Tragically, Chuck died on July 7, 2012 on the way back to his car after getting a FTF. See Chuck's Last First GC3PXG1 for more details. The geocaching community adopted his caches to keep Chuck's spirit alive.
Brittlebush is a medium-sized rounded shrub. It has long, oval, silver-gray leaves that are somewhat fuzzy. The branches are brittle and woody, and contain a fragrant resin. In the late winter and early spring small yellow flowers form on long stalks well above the leafy stems.
Brittlebush is a member of the sunflower family. The hairs on the brittlebush plant serve several purposes. The hairs act like a blanket over the leaves to protect them from the heat and cold. The white color reflects the sunlight helping to keep the plant cool. They also help trap any moisture and reduce the amount of water lost.
