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.
Designed by the TV Land Network, the bronze statue depicting widower Sheriff Andy Taylor and his young son Opie is named “The Ol' Fishin' Hole” and shows the scene where the father and son are walking a dirt road with their fishing poles during the opening sequence and theme song of the show. Mount Airy residents demanded their own statue after it was unveiled in 2003.
