**Location:** **Deputron Hollow, Danby**

This is a delightful woods road walk that takes us through a deserted and heavily forested part of eastern Danby near the Caroline town line. Deputron Hollow Road is an abandoned road that’s still somewhat drivable and used once in a great while — Olsefski Road is completely abandoned.

We start our walk by heading south on Marsh Road for two blocks until it ends — this is a very nice country setting with a few houses and some fields — then we get into the woods. The walk is somewhat hilly with ups and downs, and the stretch through the woods is very attractive. It’s possible to keep going on Deputron Hollow Road until you reach Coddington Road — the last stretch near Coddington is paved and has houses, but we usually don’t get this far.

This is hike [#25](https://www.ithacahikers.com/hike-25) on the Ithaca Hikers website. Jim will lead.

We'll meet at the intersection of East Miller Rd. & Marsh Rd. in Danby. Here are directions from Ithaca:

* Take NY-96B south past La Tourelle and the Ithaca Waldorf School.
* Turn left onto Nelson Rd., which becomes NY-123.
* Turn left onto E. Miller Rd.
* Watch for our cars near the intersection of E. Miller and Marsh Rds.

As of 2/26, the weather is expected to be cloudy and breezy with a chance of showers and a high of 60F.

We leave promptly at 9:30, so plan to be at the meeting point a few minutes early.

**IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER,** any changes will be announced as early as possible on Meetup and via messaging to hikers who have RSVP'd, so always check Meetup before leaving home to drive to the trailhead.

**NOTE TO NEW HIKERS:** Because Ithaca Hikers is an established group with an existing mailing list, many of our members do not find out about our hikes through Meetup. A typical weekend hike has a dozen or more hikers. So if you don't see many RSVPs on Meetup, you can still expect a good turnout. That said, if you find us through Meetup, please RSVP so we know to expect you.
And if you're new to hiking, check out the Cayuga Trails Club's trail use guide, which has great information about the FLT, respecting private property, reading trail blazes, and more: [https://www.cayugatrailsclub.org/trails/use.php](https://www.cayugatrailsclub.org/trails/use.php)
