RM Off Road Series (ORS) #1: Daken Road/Long Hollow Road

This cache is the second of six in my #1 series of off-road caches located along the Daken Road/Long Hollow Road route.  This route runs for about 23 miles starting from Perry Park road, about 10 miles south of Sedalia and ends at Highway 67 near Rainbow Falls Park. 


Cache Information
This cache is located on large granite slab, not far from a camping area.  There are awesome views of pines, aspens and a granite mountain (Devils Head) to the West.  The cache container is a 30 caliber ammo can that started out with the usual premium RocketMan geoswag.

Trail Information

Rating/Description
This trail is rated easy but it is not your standard flat dirt road like Rampart Range Road.  It has lots of undulations, divots and off camber areas which makes it a fun route to drive.  Most stock SUV type vehicles should have no trouble on this trail.  Disclaimer: You need to decide for yourself if it is safe to make the trip in your vehicle.

Winter Months
The trail is closed to full sized vehicles from December 1st to April 1st.  During this time, it is open to small unlicensed vehicles.

Time/Distance
The entire trail is approximately 23 miles and should take about 3 to 4 hours driving time.  You will also need to include time for finding the caches, exploring, sight seeing, lunch, etc.

Out for a little jeeping, hiking, and geocaching with the girlfriend on a 23-mile drive through Pike National Forest. A little rain in the forecast, but who lets a little water ruin their day?? TFTC!! --Deadmoney
