Geocache Description:

Old Stone Church erected on land which comprised the first Deed in organized Gregory, SD. The Church was dismantled in 1941 and only the cemetary remains. Many grave stones tell the tale of European immigrants that came by railraod from Ellis Island, NY to Dakota Territory in the 1870s and 1880s. Many cemetaries dot the region, with many grave stones carrying birthdates of the early 1800s.

“This is #39 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 +
