They’re the not so famous stones of Grim. I brought them up here from Georgia when I moved here and erected them on this land. They’re from where I grew up.
Should your travels bring you out to the Columbia River gorge, there is a full size replica of Stonehenge on the northern shore by Maryhill. It was built by Sam Hill as a WW1 monument to the dead of Klickitat county. A fascinating person, among other endeavors, he donated war relief aid in Romania after the war, and the Maryhill museum has a lovely display of furniture and art pieces given to him in thanks by Princess Marie. https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/outside/stonehenge-memorial
As a note- the furniture is something I have never seen the like of, Gothic revival would be as good as any description, it is all heavily carved in a fantasy Celtic or viking style, and completely gold leafed. Looks like it could have come straight out of some grand hall in LOTR.-

Are those the famous Standing Stones of Grimwald?

I love that. Did you erect it all at once by calculation and geometry, or did you erect each marker stone by observation on the date of the occurance?
I did in fact erect them by calculation and geometry, using a compass to align them with the cardinal directions.
