Carhenge is a replica of Stonehenge and located near Alliance, Nebraska. Instead of rocks, it's made up of cars. Only five miles away from the route I took through Nebraska, How could I pass this up?
While at Devils Tower, I met a guy who left his camera in the car of somebody else. All of his photos of Yellowstone and Devils Tower were gone. I felt his pain. My camera was stolen in Europe and all my photos from Amsterdam, Belgium and the first part of my England adventure (which included Stonehenge) were gone. More reason to check out Carhenge.
The person who conceived of this idea, Jim Reinders, did so as a memorial to his father. Carhenge was dedicated during the summer solstice of 1987. Interestingly enough, Carhenge will be in the path of the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017. I have to wonder if this had anything to do with its location. Save this date!
