Dandy as candy so far. It's another beautiful morning here. Low 60's and sunny, with a high in the upper 70's. Perfect. Looking forward to a little road trip we're taking this weekend. Taking the now that the AC works again.
How's 'Pecs doing?

Where are you headed on your little road trip?
'Pecs is doing well. Slept better last night which was She's more alert these days too, looking around, following sounds and stuff. Not just sleeping, eating, and pooping.

Nice. Glad to hear she's doing well.
We're going to a place in western Illinois called Cahokia Mounds. These are a network of manmade low hills, the tallest being about 100 ft high, made by a civilization that no longer exists. They were built between ~500 and ~1400 AD so these people died out long before the Spanish came to North America. These people built settlements all over the midwest, South, and Southeast and mounds can still be found in many states but Cahokia seems to be the biggest. At it's height it is estimated that the area had a population of about 40,000, so as big as any city in Europe at the time. They left no written records so very little is known about them save for what can be found in and around the surviving mounds. It is known, or strongly suspected, that they had a pretty elaborate trade netword, even trading with the Mayans in Central America. Should be interesting. Then we're driving up the Mississippi River to Hannibal, MO, where Mark Twain grew up. It's a cute town that I visited when I was a kid and always wanted to go back. Should be about 700-800 miles all in.

That sounds like a 5/7 trip! Not too long, but sounds interesting to me. In4moundpicswap wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 9:59 amNice. Glad to hear she's doing well.

There are other related sites in Ohio too, probably closer to you.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 10:09 amI've heard about those Cahokia Mounds. It's been on our list to check out for a while.wap wrote: ↑Thu Jun 08, 2017 9:59 am
