Looks like I'll have some time off near St louis this afternoon and tomorrow. If any yt'ers cl9se by would like to get together for coffee and stories I would have time both days I think. I might check out that museum east of town this afternoon if they are open. Anyone interested in a visit can email me here or call 320 492 9077
 
If you need to know where anything is , I can probably tell you. I am hobbled up right now and confined to quarters myself but it looks like a beautiful day out there. What museum are you contemplating visiting ?
 
I think its called the American Heritage Museum east on I-70 a ways. They said they don't officially open til may, but have stuff going on today.
 

Cahokia Indian mound East of St Louis is very interesting. It is the largest earth structure in North America, unless there is something in Mexico or Central America. You will have to Google Map it, I have been there twice but can't give directions to it. No one knows how the civilization that was there ended, but the European settlers{us} didn't have anything to do with it. The inhabitants left before European settlement. They discovered that at the city's peak, they put a 20,000 tree log stockade around it. Imagine the hand labor necessary to cut and transport, then erect those large logs. I suggest that they were spending as much of their resources on defense, percentage wise, as we do today. We walked up the 200 foot high mound. Not too far off there is a large landfill mound. The thought occurred that I wondered what future archaeologists would think of the 2 large mounds near each other.
