The Brush Off Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

FMFourStar: We went by and visited the site of "The Brush Off" today, and sadly it appears to be long gone. This entire area was flooded in the recent wet summer, and trash is scattered all throughout the cache area. We located the site of the cache, and the tree it was under is now dead (from flooding) and nearly barren. So, sadly, I think we must bid adieu to "The Brush Off." Perhaps one day we will revive this location with a new cache.

Geocache Description:

This is a camoflauged plastic coffee can container, planted in an area near Grapevine Lake


As we drove around Grapevine Lake the day this cache was placed, we saw quite a few couples smooching. This seemed to be the order of the day on such a beautiful day. This gave us the inspiration for the name of this cache, as well as its location, which is amidst a variety of heavy underbrush. We imagined that perhaps someone amongst these happy couples had instead received the dreaded "brush off" and did not have an opportunity for smooching on this nice day.

In any case, be prepared for a little bit of bushwacking to find this container, although not too much. There are several other caches in the same general vicinity of Grapevine Lake (in fact the nearest cache, The 'Shwack (GCM8ZA), has the exact same container type!) and it makes for a nice day out if the weather permits. There were signs that this cache location is used by those walking their dogs, so watch your step!!

The nearest parking area to this cache is a fee area for the lake for those with boats or planning fishing. However, if you just plan to grab the cache, it's likely you'll be able to park there briefly (there was not a single car in the lot the day we were there, despite brilliant weather). If for some reason you feel bad about parking in a fee area, park at the nearby baseball fields and walk the short distance to the cache instead.
