Road Trip Wonder

There is a delicious dessert enjoyed while driving on I-85 through South Carolina: The Glorious Gaffney Peach.

This magnificent structure stands as a testament to humanity’s ability to think boldly and imaginatively for the enrichment of all. A water tower as a piece of fruit? Yes, it can be done– no wonder we’re top of the food chain, baby!

Gaffney bills itself as the peach capital of the world, and while I don’t know if that’s true, I do know they have one of the greatest roadside attractions in America. Have a favorite roadside attraction? Please share, tightlips.

For now, come enjoy a drive by on I-85 South past the Glorious Gaffney Peach, a sight that brings tears of joy to my eyes.

    How about Lucy the Elephant in Margate, NJ? Try fitting a visit to Lucy into your next vacation plans.

    Looks like a winner. If I’m ever in that neck of the woods, I’ll look her up. Thanks.

    This is not the only peach water tower in the South. There’s one in Clanton AL and an interstate billboard of all the Peach Queens. It makes you smile.

    While I’ve seen pictures of this ‘Bama Peach, I have to say it is not as magnificent as the Gaffney masterpiece. Still, it appears to be a welcome roadside attraction. Thanks for sharing. Keep collecting Lint!
