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.
"Tommy" is 25 feet tall, 35 feet wide, and weighs 4.5 tons. The crab is the mascot for a seafood restaurant and was named for the owner. With cartoon eyes, dimpled cheeks, and a saucy sailor's cap, he appears to be saluting customers as they enter. "Hope you enjoy tearing off my family's legs!” Tommy is identified as the World's Largest by a tastefully small sign on the awning beneath his chin. He's such an overwhelming presence that you may not even notice that the restaurant is flanked by a 50-foot-tall fake lighthouse on one side and a fully rigged life-size fake ship on the other.
