Just when you thought you'd seen it all. It turns out there is more to be found throughout the Tar Heel State. Did You See That? Too! has over 50 chapters of hidden and unknown places in North Carolina, complete with the GPS coordinates to find them. A trip to the coast may bring travelers close to giant pirates, or even King Neptune himself. Going to the center of the state visitors will see Castle Mont Rouge, hidden up in the rolling hills. There are strange collections of gourds and school bells. The Cold War still fires up at Voice of America, right next to a collection of Blackbeard's possessions. When heading toward the mountains, the Woodside Shoe House can be seen as either a regular sized play house, or a very large shoe. And just a short trip away is a keyhole made for a witch. Even at the western border of the state, there is a ghost town far out into the mountains at Lost Cove and mysterious ancient markings on a cliff at Paint Rock. The strange and wonderful are all over the state. You never know what you will see. Did You See That? Too! Is the latest installment in the Did You See That? book series of roadside oddities and hidden bits of history throughout North Carolina. Each chapter describes an actual place, not just a story, so every location can be visited. In addition to GPS coordinates, a rating system describes how strange the place is, and how difficult it is to visit. Some of these places are right off the road, and some are off the beaten path. A few are even farther away, and will involve some serious exploring. These spots are even more adventurous, which make them even more rewarding. So if you have decent shoes, a good car, even a kayak for a few spots, or just a daydream on the porch, there will be something special for you to find in Did You See That? Too!
