Now that's a neat backyard project to wow the neighbors.
Here is a similar home project.

There is a new dig at Stonehenge, started yesterday, funded by BBC

So, if they are going to prove that it was a healing centre, maybe we could learn a bit more?
Troublesome thing is - all the people they dug up so far were dead and showed evidence of disease. It has always been said that medics have buried their mistakes!

I grew up down the road a spell (how about that for exact specifications?) from the Coral Castle. The structure is something else, but it is the story behind the structure that makes the "coral castle".

True Love (at least on Ed's part) can move mountains (of coral, in this case )

I wanted to find out where the Coral Castle is, so I went to the Directions page, and found this
"Take turnpike extension to Miami, take exit # 5 (288th St.), go right for 2 miles to SW 157th Ave., turn right. Take turnpike extension to Miami, take exit # 5 (288th St.), go right for 2 miles to SW 157th Ave., turn right."

Now I have to ask - What is a turnpike? Is it different from some other kind of road? We don't have them here.
This "same language" business is sometimes confusing!

In the US, "turnpike" usually refers to a modern toll road. In Tennessee (and maybe other places), "pike" is used interchangeably with highway.

Thanks Iggy. I get it now.
I think we have one or two toll roads here, but mostly, roads are paid for by the annual "motor vehicle license" or road tax.
