This is #26 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.
The cache is located just outside the cemetery of and location of the First Bohemian Presbyterian Church of Dakota near Tabor and Tyndal, South Dakota. You do not need to enter the cemetery to find the cache. The cache is established with permission of the caretakers of the cemetery and knowledge of neighbors in the area.
The cemetery was established in 1878 and is surrounded by a unique rock wall. The first church on this site was built of chalkrock in 1885; a replacement frame structure (now gone) was built in 1914. In 1953, the congregation merged with Tyndal Bohemian Church. See the monument at the entrance of the cemetery for a more complete history of this location. If you enter the cemetery, you will find surnames of many Bohemian pioneer families in Tabor/Tyndal area. Currently, local and past members attend services in the Tabor and Tyndal area churches.
