Geocache Description:

Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

 

South Carolina - Kingdom of Oyotunji African Village 

 


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.

Down in the low country swamps stands an authentic African Yoruba village found in the 1970s by Oba Oseijeman Adefunmi I.  The village covers 27 acres and has about 50 residents who follow the customs and traditions of Yoruba and For cultures, living in simple shacks, and wear traditional African garments.  The entire village houses assorted traditional structures such as open air shrines, courtyards, and a bazaar that sells handmade artwork, jewelry, herbs, and clothing made by residents.  The village residents live simply as possible, relying on tourists to keep the economy afloat.
