Geocache Description:

Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

 

South Carolina - Birthplace of Andrew Jackson, Possibly

 


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.

South Carolina claims Andrew Jackson as its only president. The state honors Old Hickory with a birth place monument, statue, a small museum and a State Park.  The monument even quotes the President as having been born in South Carolina.   Jackson was born March 15, 1767 while his mother was traveling between the two states.  No one really knows which state can claim his his birthright.  If Jackson was born at his uncle’s farm he is a South Carolinian.
