Geocache Description:

8-5-2012: Beginning September 1, 2012 TOPTRAILS Outdoor Park located in Talladega County, Alabama will begin to charge a small fee for Entrance into the Park for all Riders and visitors. The fee will be $5 per person per day with children under 11 free for riders and visitors. Wristbands will be issued with different colors for different days

Welcome to the decommissioned Coosa River Ammunition Storage Annex just north of the city of Talladega. This 2,834 acre "annex" was affiliated with the larger Anniston Army Depot. It was closed in 1988 and is now open to the public. This is a great place for Jeep and ATV enthusiasts.

While driving around the paved, gravel, and dirt roads you will notice concrete bunkers, or igloos. These are large, arched, earth covered concrete structures that are designed to contain the accidental or purposeful detonations of military ordinance that they once contained. They are also spaced about 450 feet apart to prevent chain reaction explosions with adjacent igloos.!

This place also contains two cemeteries and since a cache was already nearby one of them, we thought we would make sure cachers got a chance to see this very small and remote cemetery. The cache is not inside the perimeter fence and there is no reason to go into the cemetery to retrieve and sign the cache. While placing this, we thought of LCP of the Clay Pigeons who is known to frequent rural places like this. The name will make sense once you find the cache!
