This cache is located in Davidson-Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve. The Nature Preserve is along Klondike Road south of Lithonia in southeastern DeKalb County, Georgia. The cache is near the trail and is about a half mile from the Nature Center. Visitors can and should stay on the trail until they are in the vicinity of the cache. When in the vicinity, a visitor can leave the trail, being careful not to step on sensitive plants, moss, or lichen. The extensive area of rock outcrop west of Klondike Road has been referred to as Mile Rock for well over 100 years. If you are biking, please leave your bike at the bike rack at the Quarry Office Building. Bikes are not allowed off the bike path.

This nature preserve, like other Georgia woodlands, has ticks during all but the winter season. Take precautions that include wearing a hat, a long sleeve shirt, and long pants with legs tucked into socks. Wear light colored clothing for ease of spotting ticks, especially deer ticks that are the size of a pin head. Use bug spray with the chemical DEET and especially spray around the ankle area. Additional info for tick prevention measures.
