Cache Info: This is a medium sized plastic ammunition container.

This is the larger of two quarry storage building remains at the Nature Preserve. The smaller storage building is next to the Mile Rock Trail west of Klondike Road. Both storage buildings were likely built during the early part of the 20th century.

The woods road at this location provided access to the rock outcrop at the time quarrying was ongoing. The main road continues to the rock outcrop between the north and south peaks of Arabia Mountain. At this location, a spur road goes to the base of the south peak and another spur goes to the base of the north peak of Arabia Mountain. The north peak was extensively quarried.

In 1889, when the Arabia Granite Company built a rail line from Lithonia to the area west of Klondike road, they also built a spur line to the north base of Arabia Mountain
