This is #24 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 @ saltcamp@gwtc.net with all 100 + codes that you will find in the upper right corner of the cache log. 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 send you your coin.
This cache is located near the "Tabor-The Missouri River Was Historic Highway" Historical Marker 2 1/2 miles south of Tabor. Note the many interesting sites referenced dating from as early as 1804.
Tabor is 'The Mother City of Dakota Czechs.' On obverse side of the marker is a map of historic places along the Missouri River Highway.
The first large contingent of Czechs arrive in 1862. The first postmaster was appointed in 1873, the same year the first log school house was built. Matt Petrick, a music man, came in 1872 and organized a band for which Tabor was famous for half a century. The Milwaukee Railroad arrived in 1900 with Tabor population of 301. A solid town it has remained over the years just short of 400 people 'The Heart of Czech Dakota-Land.' The Missouri River Historic Highway map on the obverse side of the plaque identifies historic places and events along the Missouri River from Sioux City to Tabor from 1804.
