Oyate Trail Geocache
Series
This is #87 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 with the minimum 100+ codes
that you will find on the top portion of the cache log, for
example: OT - "D", on my cache hides.
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 mail your coin.
Another agrarian sidenote, with three different crop types
grouping at a four-way intersection. We've already talked about
corn and wheat a little, but did you know that South Dakota was
second in the nation for the production of sunflower seeds in 2008?
You are thinking maybe we lost to Kansas, and you'd be wrong. It
was North Dakota. The U.S., in 2009, produced nearly 1.6 million
tons of sunflower seeds. Oil from these seeds is traded globally
with Canada, Japan, Belgium, Mexico and Singapore.
There is room to park with a short walk to the cache over level
terrain. You will not need to cross any fences. Respect the area,
CITO if needed, and rehide the cache as you find it so the next
person can have the same challenge. Thank you and good luck.
Congratulations
