Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

South Carolina - Bridge From The Movie The Patriot

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 stone bridge built for the movie "The Patriot" with Mel Gibson still stands. It is nestled quietly in the swamp surrounded by cypress trees and Spanish moss. The bridge is visible throughout the movie but especially in one scene when the remaining militia fall back to the swamp and an abandoned stone chapel -- which was also built for the movie and stood for awhile, but was destroyed by a storm. Watch out for gators while you're here!
