Oyate Trail Geocache
Series
This is #96 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.
Wounded Knee Creek is a tributary of the White River,
approximately 100 miles long. Its Lakota name is Chankwe Opi
Wakpala. It rises south of here, along the state line with
Nebraska, and flows northwest, past the site of the 1890 Wounded
Knee Massacre and the towns of Wounded Knee and Manderson. It flows
NNW across the reservation and joins the White River (which you
will visit later) south of Badlands National Park.
There is parking to the southeast with a short walk over level
terrain to the cache, or the shoulders are wide enough you could
pull to the side. You will not need to leave the road. 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
