Geocache Description:

Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

 

South Carolina - World's Largest Fire Hydrant 

 

 


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.  

Artist Blue Sky's "Busted Plug Plaza," with its enormous leaning fire hydrant fountain, was officially unveiled on February 18, 2001. At almost 40 feet tall and five tons, this tilted-by-design sculpture does not provide a single drop to fight fires but it does hold the world record for the largest fire hydrant.
