Oyate Trail Geocache
Series
This is #107 of the Oyate Trail Geocache
series.
Starting just north of Sioux City, the Oyate Trail follows
Highways 50 and 18 along the southern border of South Dakota all
the way to Edgemont. There are 110 geocaches spaced approximately
every 3 miles along the trail. These caches are numbered from east
to west, #1 to #110.
The first 50 geocachers to find and log at least 100 of the 110
caches along the trail are eligible for an Official Oyate Trail
Geocaching Coin. To apply for your coin, email Charlie with the minimum 100+ codes
that you will find on the top portion of the cache log, for
example: OT - "D", on my cache hides.
These codes must be in order, #1 to #110, for example: 1D, 2O, 3N,
4T, etc. Include your name and address, so if the codes are
correct, Charlie can mail your coin.
This bridge crosses Horsehead Creek while the little burg to the
west is Oelrichs. A brief look at its statistics reveals a trend
for these rural towns. In 2000 the town had a census of 145, yet in
2010 that number had declined to 126. Of the population, 65% of the
residents are over the age of 45, with the median age being 51. Not
enough youngsters are staying home to keep these little towns
going.
There is parking to the west and it will be a short walk to the
cache. You do not need to leave the road. Respect the area, CITO if
needed, and rehide the cache as you find it so the next person can
have the same challenge. Thank you and good luck.
Congratulations
