Comments:	<b>South of the Border</b> is a rest stop and roadside attraction on Interstate 95 at US Highway 301/501 between Dillon, South Carolina, and Rowland, North Carolina. The name is derived from its location just south of the border between the Carolinas. The rest area contains restaurants, gas stations, and a motel, as well as a small amusement park, shopping, and fireworks. The mascot is Pedro, a Mexican bandido.<p> South of the Border is a very kid friendly place to stop, especially on a long road trip. There are no fees to access any of the two machines, lots of free parking, and plenty of restrooms in the area (but not in all buildings). This is a very easy, "Get off the highway, and get back on" location. There are tons of cement statuary (mostly animals) for photo ops.<p> <b>Machine 1</b>- at the Pantry <br> Design is: 'South of the Border' with cactuses on each side. <p> <b>Machine 2:</b> 2 buildings down at the main Pedro's location <br> Design is: 'South of the Border' with cactuses on each side. <p> Retired 3: 1) 'South of the Border' with cactuses on each side. <p> 10/13/2024 - Machine #1 and Machine #2 are the exact same design. <br> Machine #2 rolling noticeably short on copper. <br> Machine #1 is rolling well on copper.
