2005 Summer Road Trip 
In what has become a summer roadtrip tradition (3rd annual iteration anyway), the first official stop is Burg's Corner near Stonewall, Texas, to have a cup of peaches and Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.  This year, Nate got to share in the peachy revelry with me.

Stonehenge II was built by a couple of area families making excellent use of the concrete plant just down the way.

"Let's build us a damn HENGE!" they'd shout drunkenly.

The stelae were actually constructed of concrete over a metal frame - not solid cement as it would seem.
