Heading out from Northern IL, we headed South......
Oglesby, IL.
After lunch with them we headed to see Hubs' sister. She needed a bit of help so we took her shopping to Walmart to pick up some needed food and toiletries stuff. I think we took her out to eat that evening too.
I loved this sign in the bathroom, letting you know the prices of items if you "took" them home with you.
Yeah, I don't think I could fit an Ironing Board in my suitcase if I tried. lolz Geez, I could get most of this new in a store for less.......
The next morning we headed out through Indiana, toward Ohio.

but they should have sufficient arms & ammunition

might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government"

Welcome to Indiana
Notice that Indiana is NOT very welcoming.....their Welcome Center is closed.
Skyline Chili anyone??
This mound is the largest known serpent shaped effigy in the world. The mound was built most probably by the Hopewell and/or the Adena prehistoric cultures and radiocarbon dating suggests it's at least 2000 years old.
There was an informative museum there as well and you could learn about these prehistoric cultures and how and why they built earthen mounds.
And me again, next to the stone monument after walking all the way around the mound.....and melting in the heat like the Wicked Witch of the West. lolz
Made to the motel out in the middle of nowhere aka the Southern tip of Ohio.
Our last two days of the trip coming up next.
Sluggy
The serpent mound was interesting. I wonder how they justified mowing and respecting the mound? I agree we should respect their culture. Did mowers receive a dispensation to walk on the mound? I am not being silly, but I do wonder.
ReplyDeleteWell, you lost weight now, so that is the important part. I wish I could erase some photos of me! So, I know how you feel.
You put a lot of work into this; good for you! I enjoy seeing the sights.
