Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
If you’ve wanted to visit Stonehenge but can’t afford the expense of flying to England, then I have some
good news for you

Pack up the family station wagon and take off on a road trip to “Carhenge” in western Nebraska. A top tourist
draw in the state, this 26 year old monument consists of 38 automobiles arranged in a circle to closely resemble
England's Stonehenge. Several cars are planted upright in the dirt with other cars placed on top to form archways.

Named among the nation’s 10 wackiest attractions, the only site deemed wackier than Carhenge was a toilet
seat museum in San Antonio that has over 800 decorated toilet seat lids, but no bathroom.

Hmm.. One of those cars looks familiar.. my memory is a little.. Rusty so I'll be going around in.. Circles to figure out where I've seen it.. but that sounds like a place to visit without putting a big.. Dent in your travel budget.

This is something like Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas..

That's a hoot, Joy! I have heard of this one before. Would be fun to see it and take some silly photos there.

Sorry I didn't have anything to do with it. I had relocated before it was built. It's an interesting work of art for sure. lol
