Build Your Own Stonehenge?

Today whilst shopping for parental birthday gifts, I wandered into our local B&N. After selecting the perfect present for my father "The Worst Case Scenario Survival Kit" I mosied over to the "look at this and want to buy it while waiting in line" area. I found myself the perfect gift. My very own "build your own Stonehenge." I figure since I'll probably never get to see the real one, this is the next best substitute. I've always been fascinated by rocks, to tell you the truth. For my first elementary school Halloween, I dressed up as a "rock scientist." I though it was pretty damn clever. All the other kids just thought I was a freak. Ever since I was little i've picked up rocks wherever I am. I've got rocks from a myriad of places ranging from Ken's Little Rock Shop off the side of the road near Boise, to stuff my grandpa picked up from road trips over the years. To this day I still walk with my eyes diverted looking for the next rock in my collection. Usually when my best friend and I are in the mountains or whatnot, we like to build "rock sculptures" to either a: make people wonder if there is life on other planets and they are trying to contact us, b: make people think there is treasure nearby, or c: there are bored people obsessed with rocks. Anyway, enough history. I can't wait to build my own personal Stonehenge and hopefully channel some good vibes. :)
