Another Roadside Attraction Geotrail

North Carolina - Futuro House

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.

Greeting Earthlings! One of only about 100 remaining Futuro houses left in the United States.  The mid-20th century prefabbed homes are often referred to as UFO houses.  North Carolina’s Futuro served many purposes over the years.  First built to be a beach vacation house, then after many years the home was donated to the local volunteer fire department to conduct fire fighter training and burn it down.  The VFD decided to save it and raffle it off as a fund raiser instead of torching it.  The new owners used it as a hotdog / ice-cream stand for several years until it was badly damaged in a hurricane. The Futuro again awaits for rescue and refurbishment.
