An easy park and grab in a 35mm Film Container!!

Beginning with Cache #34, the hides on the “Russellville Run” carry on on rural roads with lower traffic volume than you may have found on Russellville Road. Please continue to use caution.

The town of Russellville rose near this route in late 1858, after William Green Russell discovered a few gleaming specks in his pan at Russellville Gulch. His find brought a horde of prospectors - an advance wave of the Pikes Peak gold rush. With busy placer diggings and clusters of tents, Russellville brimmed over with promise; but its nuggets, although pure, were too scarce to make fortunes. In the spring of 1859 the real gold rush began in the Central Rockies, about seventy-five miles northwest of here, and Russellville's boom abruptly busted. Though nearly deserted, the settlement survived for a time as a passenger way station, but by 1880 had become a ghost town.

Unlike the early prospectors who came looking for gold, those who come here looking for cache are likely to find good fortune. Starting at the intersection of Colorado Highway 83 and Russellville Road, the “Russellville Run Power Trail” consists initially of 74 geocaches – most are 35mm Film Canisters and most should be easy finds! ENJOY!!


GCRM Please replace the log if full or damaged. Also, we would appreciate your help in replacing the cache container if you find it is broken or missing.

A long day caching and it was great weather to have the doors off the geojeep. A beautiful drive through the country, lots of views and cows TFTC

Our first powertrail in the US ! In dry weather we made this one today.. A long tour by car in a nice area with interesting sightseeing-views. Over normal and sandy roads, with today over 100 stops, with very easy but some quite difficult caches too , with very good logstripes but many wet or dirty and some very full stripes, too, a tour that took us 6 very pretty hours in nature.
Our respect for the owner(s) grew with the distance and number of caches. Thanks for this tour and your work !
For the owner(s) we give some important information in some logs.

Its been a long hot summer in Texas, I've been trying to get out and do a caching trip a couple of times this summer, but it never worked out. Finally managed to get a week off, and am so happy to be out here in Colorado. The weather if perfect, and there is a load of caches that need my name on Thanks so much for the hide 2SKPs, I really enjoyed finiding this cache!

Time constraints and a misbehaving I/i key on my computer are limiting me to good job and TFTC!
