North America’s biggest ancient earthwork structure

This trip represents at least the fourth time that I’ve driven by Cahokia, not far from St. Louis, without having the time to stop at the site.  I’ve always been in a hurry to reach somewhere else.  It’s becoming a real frustration.

I thought I had it worked out for this trip, but factors beyond my control robbed me of my discretionary time at point in the trip where I planned to use it.

So this article isn’t so much a nice partial substitute as it is salt rubbed in the wound:
