Unfortunately it imploded pretty quickly.

When we lived in Hawaii I loved stumbling upon a tall stack along the beach or hiking trail left by the 'menehune' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menehune).<br />;)jessika fleckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808906296309031940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345567373976059983.post-76031293605266780972013-04-01T16:46:05.623-07:002013-04-01T16:46:05.623-07:00So cool!

There is so much mystery surrounding the stones — not only what their significance was, but how they were moved to that spot and why.<br /><br />I heard that they'd solved the mystery recently — that Stonehenge was primarily a burial ground and gathering place (NOT an observatory). But who knows.<br /><br />Looking forward to your "report" on Beaver Island!John Krissilashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02683306221234743057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-345567373976059983.post-594352264266953842013-03-30T13:43:35.844-07:002013-03-30T13:43:35.844-07:00Fan-Tastic.

These kinds of things--and stone carving in general--have worked their way into my stories on many occasions.

There's also one in New Hampshire. But I'd never heard of the Beaver Island one, or the theory of early Celtic explorers getting that far into the continental US. SO COOL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
