Geocache Description:

Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

 

North Carolina - The Tweetsie Railroad 

 


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.

 

A family oriented railroad and Wild West theme park with a 3 mile ride aboard an authentic steam locomotive. The park opened in 1957 with the narrow gauge line that goes back to 1917 and was originally part of the Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad line.  The tourist attraction quickly became a popular destination as one of the nation’s first amusement parks. The park was named for the shrill “Tweet” of the diminutive locomotive.
