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.
Shoeless Joe Jackson, played professional baseball from 1908 to 1919 and had an amazing career batting average, (.356, still the third highest in the history of baseball) was caught up in the 1919 World Series scandal in which he and seven of his Chicago White Sox teammates were given lifetime suspensions for allegedly throwing the Series. The nickname “Shoeless Joe” was acquired when the player played one of his games barefoot after buying a pair of painful new shoes. The Shoeless Joe Jackson Museum chronicles the life of one of this great baseball legends. The museum, located in the house in which Jackson lived and died, follows his humble childhood working in a local textile mill through his years playing textile league ball, his baseball career, the scandal that ruined his career, and his later years. The museum displays artifacts, photographs, film, books and other items of interest associated with his life. Yes, shoes must be worn when visiting the museum. A statue of the slugger can be found on Main St. of his home town.
