Stonehenge?

My roommates woke me up early today and said "Get ready, were going to Stonehenge".  Now for a Little Fox who is afraid of flying internationally (I have heard horror stories of getting through customs) I was a little nervous.  Since my middle name is Adventure I figured it was worth a shot. I wonder what kind of things I should bring with me on a flight to Wiltshire England?  My roommates didn't seem too worried about packing (that's odd) and they hurried me in the car and started driving.  I started to get nervous when we drove past the airport and out toward to Columbia Gorge.  I soon realized they were talking about the OTHER Stonehenge, you know the one in Washington State, not the one in Wiltshire, England.

I haven't been to the real Stonehenge but somehow I think that you can't drive right up to it and for some reason I imagine the one in England busier...
 Recently (in the last 5 - 10 years) they started putting up wind turbines in the Gorge.  It's not too windy today.



Back in the car, where are we off to now?  It looks like the back of a winery.  What, I have to clean all of these barrels while my roommates taste wine?  No way!  I am going to explore instead. 




  Check out this old building with all of the cattle, I wonder if they tours of the ranch?




Finally, I found a place for a fox to relax.  It was beary sunny today and about 47 Fahrenheit (8.5 Celsius for my international friends).  Not bad for February 1st.  I was enjoying the view while my roommates were wine tasting.   It's no Starbucks but the view was pretty nice.
Just when I was getting restless to move on  I got a bearday surprise. My own bottle of wine to share with my roommates (I am confused since this is MY bearday gift and I am not sure why I have to share it) but it was still a beary good adventure
