What did geologist Jim Reinders call the 26 cars he planted on end in a Nebraska wheat field, as an homage to?

CARHENGE - is a replica of England's Stonehenge located near the town of Alliance, Nebraska on the High Plains. Instead of being made from stones, Carhenge is constructed of vintage American automobiles, all covered with gray spray paint. Built by Jim Reinders, it was dedicated at the June 1987 summer solstice.\n\nThirty-eight automobiles were used in a circle measuring about 96 feet (29 m) in diameter. Some autos are held upright in pits five feet (1.5 m) deep, trunk end down, while arches have been formed by welding cars atop the supporting autos. The heelstone is a 1962 Cadillac.\n\nCarhenge replicates Stonehenge's current "tumble-down" state rather than the original stone circle.

My husband and I love to drive around to find things at yardsales! Like the saying goes, one mans trash is another mans goldmine, or something like that!

Here's what some folks on miningold.com said:\n\n"From Rick A Loveless\nThere are gold occurrences in Macon, Adair, Livingston, Linn, Putman, Randolph and Schuyler counties. A result of glacial deposits. Fine gold and grain sized nuggets reported from Murry Gulch, northeast of Elmer and Sand Creek in Macon County. Pannable gold has been found all along the Chariton River and its tributaries in Macon, Adair and Schuyler counties. My very first attempt at recreational prospecting was a couple hours in a very small stream somewhere south of Elmer, got 6 or 7 specks of fine gold. More info can be had by calling Ceder Creek Ranger District Route 4 Box 4023 Fulton MO 65251, (314) 642-6726\n\nFrom Jordan M. Humphreys\nI have found very fine glacial gold in Sand Creek just NE of Elmer, MO.; in the Salt River north of Mexico, Missouri; and in Cedar Creek just east of Englewood, Missouri.\n\nI'm fairly certain most creeks and rivers in North Central Missouri carry some gold. Its all just specks and in small quantities...but it sure is pretty in your pan!"\n\nThanks for asking this question -- I've lived in Missouri all my life, and went to college in Adair County and had never heard of this (not even while slinging beers at a townie bar in Kirksville during my senior year!)

Yes. On my way into work this morning, I passed two fossils with gray hair driving a station wagon. Fossils shouldn't be allowed to drive.

Racing in the Streets.  \n\nI never had a 69 Chevy, but I had a 64, and she had fuely heads and a Hurst on the floor.  More than a couple of buddies helped me build her straight out of scratch and they rode with me from town to town.  Never did get the girl (with that car) and thankfully all her pretty dreams never got torn.  Love that song.  I wish I still had the car.\n\n #2 is The River.  I love the line, "For my nineteenth birthday, I got my union card and a wedding coat."\n\nSpringsteen creates mental pictures like no other.

Our amazing hubris, plus it just sounds better than "The Middle Part of an Average Continent Series." Personally, I think it should be called the "Genencor Series."

The Valles Marineris is a system of canyons located just south of the Martian equator. The system is about 4000 km long, and, if on earth, would extend all the way across the United States. The central individual troughs, generally 50 to 100 km wide, merge into a depression as much as 600 km wide. In places the canyon floor reaches a depth of 10 km, 6 to 7 times deeper than the Grand Canyon. The geologic history of the central canyon system is complex: first the surface collapsed into a few deep depressions that later became filled with layered material, perhaps as lake deposits. Then graben-forming faults cut across some of the older troughs thus widening existing troughs, breaching barriers between troughs, and forming additional ones. At that time the interior deposits were locally bent and tilted, and perhaps water, if still present, spilled out and flowed toward the outflow channels. Huge landslides fell into the voids created by the new grabens. Wind-drifted material, mostly dark in color, apparently still moves along the canyon floor and locally forms conspicuous dunes. We have created images of the martian canyon, primarily in the central region, Ophir and Candor Chasmata, by merging Viking images with topographic maps. Maps of Ophir and central Candor Chasmata are derived from stereo images by photogrammetry. They have 200-m contour interval, except for local gaps that have 1-km contour interval. West Candor Chasma has 1-km contour interval. The three-dimensional anaglyph images generated using locally produced MIPS software (Mini Image Processing System) require red and blue glasses to view. A Geographic Information System (GIS) software package (ArcInfo) was used to super-impose several layers of information, specifically geologic units, geologic structures, images, and topography.
