Geocache Description:

Well, we haven't actually seen trolls, but we're pretty sure they come out after dark.

Under an abandoned railbed used by a mining company nearly a hundred years ago, at Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve, one of Birmingham's best kept secrets.

This is a small container with log book. When placed it also contained a mood ring and flashlight. There's room for a small trade item or two.

You can reach this cache from either side of the mountain, but the easiest approach is from the parking area on Ruffner road (see waypoint)

Cache placed with permission of Ruffner Mountain Nature Preserve management.
