Geocache Description:

You are looking for a camo pill container. This cache is located in the Cahaba River Wildlife Management Area. You can easily access this cache with a 2wd pickup truck or SUV.

The Cahaba shiner (Notropis cahabae) is an endangered species once thought to be endemic (to only occur) in a 76-mile stretch of the main river channel of the Cahaba. The remaining population in the Cahaba is limited to a 15-mile stretch of the main stem between the Fall Line and Bibb Co. Bridge 26. The fish was listed as endangered shortly after it was described in 1989. (Fishes & Project)

The Alabama Geological Survey recently discovered new populations of the Cahaba shiner in the Locust Fork River (Black Warrior Basin) in 1998 in approximately 60 river miles similar in character to the Cahaba. The Locust Fork population appears to be in equal or better condition relative to population size. (Fishes, Project)
