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.
Unveiled in 2011, the life-size bronze statue depicts a man cheerfully striding next to his pet alligator. The man, Charles Fraser, a local developer who built golf courses and gated subdivisions, transformed empty coastal islands from a rural backwaters into a fashionable enclaves for rich people. He died in 2002, while scouting new islands for new golf courses and subdivisions, when the engine on his yacht exploded. In real life, his pet gator, nicknamed “Albert," was removed from the area by investors who didn't want him on their golf course. The rumor, never confirmed, was that Albert had eaten a dachshund.
