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 "World's Smallest Police Station" became a police station in 1940, before that it was the town well. The area behind the police station is known as the cotton yard. It's called this because it was used as a staging area for cotton farmers bringing their cotton into town to be loaded on the train for shipment. Before farmers would leave town, they would pull their wagons up to the well to water their mules and oxen. In 1940, as part of a WPA project, the well was covered up and the "World's Smallest Police Station" was born and served until 1990 when the current police station opened up. The “New” station, next door, is twice the size of the old one but still very tiny.
