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.
Captured in bronze on the Town Green, the 7 foot tall statue of South Carolinian Dizzy Gillespie has the trademark bulging cheeks, closed eyes and bent trumpet. The “King of Jazz” was born in 1917 and his hometown dedicated a park in his honor. The notes in the park’s fence are those from Salt Peanuts, one of Gillespie’s famous songs.
