Geocache Description:

Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

 

South Carolina - Amelia Bedelia Statue

 

 


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 children’s book character Amelia Bedelia honors author Peggy Parish. The series of books center around a housekeeper who interprets her employers’ instructions literally, leading to comic scenarios that delight both child and adult readers.  The 1999 statue was unveiled in front of the library in Parish's hometown. The five foot bronze likeness of Amelia depicts the character in her trademark uniform, including her over-sized bonnet.
