This cache is located at a Highway 26 pull off. Cache is a large
Tylenol bottle with room for small trade items. When you log your
find please put what State you are from. I would like to keep track
of how many cachers from different states make their way along the
Oregon Trail.There is an Historical marker here marking a crossing
of the North/South Cheyenne Black Hills trail.
"Cheyenne Black Hills trail passed near this point between 1876 and
1887. Built to supply the Dakota Gold camps, the road was
constructed in violation of the Ft. Laramie Treaty of 1868 which
reserved the Black Hills for the Sioux Indians. Stagecoaches and
wagons carrying passengers, freight and gold bullion rumbled
through nearby Ft. Laramie, an important stopping point along the
line, until the arrival of the Chicago and North Western Railroad
rendered the route obsolete."
Cacher's States in the order of their logs: Wyoming, Iowa,

California, Kentucky, South Dakota
