Woodhenge archaeologist, Dr.
Warren Wittry, making observations from atop the center post in 1980. This was
when telephone poles had been set into the Solstice, Equinox, and center
pole positions. The telephone poles were removed in 1985, they were replaced
with cedar and black locust poles, and the circle was completed except for 6 or
7 posts (on private property), on the Western edge.

Cahokia Mounds volunteers,
after setting the center post circa 1985. On their way back to their cars, after
the ceremony, a lightening bolt bounced off a large cottonwood nearby and struck
this center post.
