Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Past and Present Passages series


This cache is an ammo box located close to the Arabia Mountain
Bike Path. Closest parking is the Panola Mountain Trailhead Parking
Lot off Flat Bridge Road at N33 37.953 W084 08.845. Panola Mountain
charges a $5.00 vehicle parking fee. A bike path map can be downloaded
at this link: (visit link) The cache is just over one mile from the
parking lot.

The recently completed bridge over the South River is one of the
longest pedestrian bridges in the southeast. It is fabricated using
corten steel, which was developed to form a stable rust-like
appearance when exposed to the weather for a few years. It does not
need painting , saving thousands of dollars in maintenance costs
over the life of the bridge. It blends in well with the
environment. The most famous corten steel bridge is the interstate
bridge over the New River Gorge in West Virginia.

At the end of the bridge, stairsteps lead down to the river and
to a natural sand beach. In warm weather, numerous turtles can be
seen sun bathing on the logs just upstream from the bridge.
The water is unsafe for swimming or wading, so do not go into
the river.

Feel free to retrieve travel bugs or geocoins without need to
place anything in return.

The Nature Preserve, like most Georgia woodlands, has ticks during all but the winter season. Take precautions that include wearing a hat, long sleeve shirt, and long pants with legs tucked into socks. Wear light colored clothing for ease of spotting ticks that are the size of a pin head. Use a bug spray with the chemical DEET and especially spray around the ankle area. Here is a link to tick prevention guidelines. (visit link)
