Etowah, fifth page. And the last one. Really.

This is a fish trap. The indians trapped fish here. And in 40 other places along the Etowah river. I read the sign:) Corn. The Indians called it Maize.
Bow and Arrow mobile home park. For real. I'm not making this up. This was taken from a mound.
She's touching it! She's touching it! Annika's touching the canoe!!!!!

Etowah, third page, or is this the fourth one?

Me on another mound. Gavin and I escaped the taller mound and found refuge here. Not from the heat, just from the mound. How many times can one type "mound" in here? Mound. (12) Here is an unfinished boat or canoe or something. I forgot what the sign said.
Mini-mound! Or wee-mound. Or just a small pile of dirt. No, not mound-like at all. And get off before you ruin your shoes!!
Mushroom mound.

Another mound!
And a factory. Taken from the mound.

Etowah, second page

Here we're walking towards the mound.. (walk towards the light, i mean, the mound, no! the light. yeah.) Its a pretty long walk and they have bermuda grass grown to show you where to go. (I thought the 70ft tall mounds would show me, but whatever!) Pretty interesting.
I'm closing my eyes and trying *real hard* to imagine like the sign said. Nope. Don't see it. You'll have to recreate the entire civilization for me. I'm more of a "visual" person.
Yeah, its as long as it looks. Whew.

Etowah Indian Mounds

This is inside the main building..the only building.. and I thought these were cool. The whole place was, in fact, it was icy. They have great air-conditioning.


This is the ditch that goes around the entire area. The picture here is of the widest area and I wanted to run up and down the hills, but the sign said no.
