We finally reached our first destination…Letter “C” on our map. We bypassed Scotts Bluff National Monument. Views would not have been very good due to the smoke from Canadian fires.

So how many of you have been to England? Have you visited Stonehenge there? If not, we have the American version right here in Nebraska!

So why Carhenge? Well, after spending 7 years of his working career as a petroleum engineer working in England, Jim Reinders, the creator of Carhenge, returned to his native home in Alliance, Nebraska with the idea of creating the American version of Stonehenge.

Jim began looking for a medium with which he could reconstruct his version of Stonehenge. Automobiles were plentiful and similar in shape and size to the stones used in the construction of Stonehenge…additionally, having wheels, transportation to his designated site would be relatively easy.

The original 25 cars were erected during a Reindeers family reunion in six days and were dedicated during the Summer Solstice, June 21, 1987.

You might ask “Was it worth driving 1000 miles in 2 ½ days to see”? Probably not, but it was on our way as we headed North. And, you have to admit, it is a unique experience!

Where but America?
