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.
North Carolina claims Andrew Jackson as one of three of her presidents (James Polk and Andrew Johnson are the other two). The state honors Old Hickory with a birthplace monument, a statue at the state capitol, and a small museum. Jackson was born March 15, 1767 while his mother was traveling between the two states. No one really knows which state can claim his birthright. If Jackson was born at his family cabin he is a North Carolinian. The birth place monument in North Carolina doesn’t even have a NC road going to it…you have to drive through South Carolina to get to the marker, so there’s that.
