Alex Champion's Hexagonal Rock Earthwork with 6 Obelisks - Second Visit

On May 3rd, Marilyn Larson and I returned to see the first pour of Alex Champion’s six obelisks for the Hexagonal Rock Earthwork that he is creating with the help of two amazing craftsmen.

Like a giant sarcophagus, each single structure weighs 900 pounds and is nine-feet in length! When all six are complete, they will be lowered into the placement holes that are three-feet deep and will be six-feet above ground.
