Tom is a volunteer at Arabia Mountain Preserve near Lithonia and has put out the four caches on the mountain that many have enjoyed finding. Unfortunately, due to the sensitive nature of the flora on the mountain, preserve management has asked that we not place any caches of our own there. The preserve is expanding. In Tom's words:
quote:
Just a short note to let you know about recent land acquitions that expand Arabia Mountain Nature Preserve (now Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area). The County recently acqquired a considerable amount of additional land south of Highway 212. The continuation of the Arabia Mountain Bike Path has just been completed on this land all the way to the South River. As with the land north of Brown's Mill Road, no caches should be approved along the bike path to the South River.
In the near future, we will probably place another interpretive cache along the bike path just north of the South River to interpret the new corten steel footbridge over the South River and the Lyon Plantation Home, the oldest house in DeKalb County, built in 1830. It was part of the recent land purchase.
