Okay, so imagine you're cruising through Alabama and BAM—out of nowhere—there’s a full-size Stonehenge replica chilling in a pine forest. That’s Bamahenge, and yes, it’s as random and awesome as it sounds.
It's free, it's weird, and it’s actually aligned with the summer solstice like the real Stonehenge. I mean… who thought of this? And also—thank you.
The whole vibe is peaceful but trippy. Like one minute you're in the South, and the next you're questioning ancient civilizations and pretending you're in a sci-fi movie. The stones are fiberglass, but they look legit from a distance.

Great area for picnics. Plan to spend about hour here if you choose to drive all the way to the back and visit the dinosaurs along the way and the interesting sculptures at the marina...
