Oyate Trail Geocache Series
This is #97 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.
Don't know if you can tell it or not, but Denby is just to the north, and it has a listed elevation of 3300+ feet. When you started on page 65 of the DeLorme atlas, the Red Hills were just a fuzz over 2400 feet. Your ears should've popped by now...
There is parking to the southeast with a short walk over sloped terrain to the cache. You are looking for a cache bigger than a bison, but smaller than a 12 ounce soda can. You will not have 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.
