In 1995, when i first started saving posts about the place, one source
(name lost, alas) said it is "80% scale," mmazurek@reed.edu (Weazel)
said it was "full size," and mv4020@Access.Mountain.Net said "it looks
like a scale model." Can some person who has been there clear up this
confusion?

Thanks for the information. Is it okay to just show up there on the
Summer Solstice or must one be a member of an invited party of local
pagans to attend? And what is "the Silver Wheel event" and when does it
occur? Is it open to the public? 

Also, speaking of size -- the Texas Stonehenge replica, which Daniel
Clark Owsley <dco0001@jove.acs.unt.edu> tells me is located near the
town of Huntsville, was said by Paris Soulier (e-mail address lost) to
be "life-size" (i.e. full-scale).
