Geocache Description:


A multi-waypoint cache that begins at a replica of an ancient monument of huge stones standing on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. It has captured imaginations for centuries. Theories about who built it have included the Druids, Greeks, Phoenicians, and Atlanteans. Speculation on the reason it was built range from human sacrifice to astronomy.

The cache is a small green ammo can. Nearby are two places that seem like an oasis in this desert area. One is Maryhill State Park along the river and another is the Maryhill Museum on the rim high above the river. This old mansion has wonderful picnic grounds that are a good place to feed the peacocks and and enjoy some great views.
