Geocache Description:

Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

 

South Carolina - Detailed and Accurate Sundial

 


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.

This unusual sundial, quite possibly the only of its kind, has displayed very accurate time — within two minutes of standard time — for over 160 years. The vertical sundial is located on Main Street in front of the County Courthouse. It was a gift to the city in 1858 from the county’s state senator, J. D. Allen.
