The above coordinates take you to the parking lot of a wonderful walking trail commerating the historical Ft. Randall. The original limestone chapel is still there and a short concreted walking trail will lead you around the fort site. It should be wheel-chair accessible. "This cache has been placed with permission of the Corps of Engineers, and the required permit has been obtained."
“This is #34 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.”
Answers to the following questions can be found by walking along the closest circle of the trail and reading the markers. You will not need to go past the flagpole and sundial for the answers, but you may want to walk further to enjoy the additional information.
