Absolutely BREW-tiful

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

Well, it was too late to head counter clockwise when I got here. I came in from Kings Mountain Road, and headed in the direction of the nearest cache. It was a great day for a hike, and not a lot of hikers were here this morning. Thanks!

TOT - Twelve Pack

By: Passport11 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

I didn't initially spot anything, so I read the description and found the interesting little landmark. Thanks!

Rock Innie

By: digitalfish Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

This is a great geocache. It is near the trail, non-geocachers would not bother it, and geocachers should find it quickly. Thanks!

Hanging Brew II

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

I'm no fan of micros in the woods, but this one has coordinates that matched up well with my GPSr, and then the hint kicked in. Thanks!

Forest Brew

By: Passport11 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

Another quick find and I was on my way. Thanks!

Special Brew

By: Passport11 Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I didn't have to read the hint for this one. I found it, signed, and I was on my way. Thanks!

Witch's Brew II

By: the voucher Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

I walked around and looked in the cauldron first, then went back to the trail and found the cache. Thanks!

Kings Mountain Road

By: NavySparksandtheMrs Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I had just completed the Teague Hill MROSD cache further up the road (and 20+ more). I decided to stop for this one because of the good parking and the fact that I don't come by here often. Thanks!

Final Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

I probably should have looked around a little more before reading the hint. When I did read it, I looked over and spotted the cache about six feet away. Thanks!

Witch's Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Small

I didn't spot it immediately, but I re-focused my attention and soon was signing. Thanks!

Redwood Brew

By: Passport11 Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

Nice hint and good cache. I was making my way counter-clockwise around the brew loop. Thanks!

Teague Hill Open Space Preserve ~ MROSD

By: MROSD (adopted from digitalfish) Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

This was my first of the MROSD caches. I had my passport printed out, and put the first stamp on it here. I also continued on for about 20 more caches here. Thanks!

Blue Brew

By: Passport11 Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Micro

I guess I was spoiled by all the great hints in the Brew series, but luckily I didn't need any help on this one. Thanks!

Near the Deer

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Micro

Uggh! A lot of downhill and uphill for one little cache. I came in from Kings Mountain Road so this was off my route. I could have driven to it, but the GPSr said it was just .22 miles from Witch's Brew. I decided I had plenty of time, so I went for it. I first took an unintended tour of the water tank, then headed down the road the other way. Thanks!

Bloody Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

I completed my brew loop here. I still had to hike up the hill and back to Kings Mountain Road, though. Thanks!

Hanging Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Micro

I decided to head down here to make a clean sweep of the brew loop. As I've said before, I'm no fan of micros in the woods, and my GPSr didn't get me very close to the cache. I read the great hint, though, and after looking around, I found a matching spot and found the cache. Thanks!

Winter Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Regular

The hint is out-of-date since the cache is in a nice lock-n-lock, but otherwise another great hint and a quick find. Thanks!

Teague Link

By: ChipnDonna Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 2.0 Container: Regular

This cache was quite useful to me because I parked on Kings Mountain Road and the trail to this area was easy to miss. Thanks!

Cold Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Small

Found it quickly using the great hint. I enjoy hiking more than searching, so this was a great series for me. Thanks!

Mixed Brew

By: the voucher Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

Luckily, I didn't need the picture since I don't think they are saved in the GPX file. (At least my GPSr doesn't display it.) Thanks!

The Lost Village of Summit Springs

By: PurplePeople Difficulty: 2.0 Terrain: 1.5 Container: Regular

I parked near here for a hike through Teague Hill this morning. It was a great day for a hike. Thanks!

Vinyards in BCR Open Space?

By: WERDAVE Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Small

The vegetation has grown up a bit since the last finder in May. The hint was crucial to being able to come up with this one. We took the pathtag and moved it to the Alma Dale cache. Thanks!

BCR Rest Stop

By: CacheClan and Thefogheads Difficulty: 1.0 Terrain: 2.5 Container: Regular

I came out here today with Wirebndr, who lives further up Bear Creek Rd. It has been about three years since I have been out here, so the memory was a bit foggy. It was a nice hike on a nice day, with a nice place here to rest a moment. Thanks!

Are You Game?

By: alpharomero.com Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 3.0 Container: Micro

Wirebndr was busy with a phone call, so I spotted this one and signed. This was as far as we planned to come, so we turned around here. It was quite a nice day for a hike here. Thanks!

Wild About Walkways

By: L-grl Difficulty: 1.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Micro

We were just a little early for a nearby open house, so I found a way to kill a little time. It was in the third place I looked. Thanks!

Don't eat dead fish

By: workerofwood Difficulty: 2.5 Terrain: 1.0 Container: Regular

Mrs. Bytemobile and I were out and about, attending open houses. We had a little time to kill so I thought about trying for this one. I tried and failed before, so I thought a second pair of eyes would be good. Mrs. Bytemobile made quick work of this one. Thanks!
