Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

North Carolina - The Old Burying Ground 

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 Old Burying Ground is one of the oldest cemeteries in North Carolina and has many historic graves including: a War of 1812 privateer captain with a cannon from his ship as his tombstone; a girl who died at sea is buried in a rum keg; and a soldier buried with his boots on is standing up facing his homeland of England. The graves date from the early 1700s to the early 1900s and the cemetery provides brochures detailing the historic burials.
