Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

North Carolina - House of Mugs

There is nothing better than a good road trip: driving down the open road, eating at tiny roadside diners, going 150 miles out of the way to take a selfie in front of … the Peachoid water tower! Oh Say, can you see … me with the world’s largest frying pan?

This geotrail honors those unique, odd, bizarre, fun, historic, campy, weird, and just downright interesting roadside attractions in North and South Carolina. The caches aren’t meant to be hard, it is a power-trail after all. None of the caches are hidden at the posted locations - but answer the question correctly and you will have a working set of coordinates. All of the hides are preform bottles.

The House of Mugs is a sight to behold. The wood frame cabin -- covered, as its name suggests, top-to-bottom in coffee mugs -- sits practically on the banks of the Johns River. Owner estimates more than 25,000 mugs cover two buildings and fencing around the property. Visitors are welcome to visit year-round and there is a visitor's sign-in sheet on the front porch. Peek through the windows and the entire inside of the building is also covered in coffee mugs. If you can find an empty nail, you can leave a coffee mug, too.
