Our 13th Park in our 9 th State was EFFIGY MOUNDS National Monument, 151 Highway 76, in Harper's Ferry, IA

They went to great lengths to keep from calling these "Indian Burial Mounds"  The picture about says "mystery".  I guess that is their way of say there is something buried here and in 1000's of other places and no one know why.

Being the skeptic that I am and with very little imagination, what we have here at "mounds" that the experts say don't fit in with the rest of the terrain.  Many have been robbed, but some copper jewelry has been found.  They have mowed around these mounds and say they look like various things.  To me it is like identifying constellations in the sky.  I can't see a bear there either.

Melissa saw everything see was suppose the see and was awed by the whole adventure.

This 2526 acre park is nestled along the banks of the Mississippi River and has miles of trails.  The views of the river are spectacular, as well as the vegetation and wildlife.  You could definitely see why someone would pick this as a place to be buried and visit those who had passed on.

Nice place for a walk.....
