Took a bit of a round-trip road trip on Saturday to Natchez, Mississippi. Got my truck OV Tuned/Flashed this weekend. But stopped at a roadside sight called Mont Helena near Anguilla, Mississippi. There house is a Colonial Revival built atop an Indian mound. These mounds served primarily for ceremonial functions (including burial). More info in pics.

 

Driving around on the Moon... Well Craters of the moon NP lol

 

Thanks! Got to with 29er bikes, haha.

 

Took Winston for a ride today on local seasonal roads. Ran into a group of trucks, one being towed and ended up taking an unplanned trail out. Got a little sketchy but my truck felt light and nibble and handled it with ease. Was a little unnerving when riding solo with spotty cell coverage at best.

 

Went out to exercise my 4wd for the first time. Been to that place a few times but hadn't seen the bunkers till Saturday

 

So, settlers took the most sacred Indian grounds and build mansions on them. Hmm.

 

Well, I never said we were perfect. But I see what you're saying. Was/is it wrong? Very much so.

But there is an even bigger mound located near Natchez called Emerald Mound. If I'd had time on Saturday, I would've stopped.

Dont see what the problem is personally.

 

Another pic from today on my client’s site. Glad for my ko2’s.

 

@badrun if your reply is in regards to my post: it goes back to a historical arguments about what is "sacred." These mounds, dotted throughout Mississippi (and in particular the Mississippi Delta -- a flat, fertile ag area) served as ceremonial centers for the Native Americans in the area. Some were even burial sites. So the argument could be made about "white settlers defiling Native American (Indian) sites" even more (see history books about white settlers and Native Americans).

You can draw your own conclusions on history. I'd prefer not to get into a "pissing match" online about what is right or wrong in historical context. The house (and mound itself) were built well before you or I were born. I would just prefer to admire the beauty of the house and the oddity of being built on a mound/hill in the middle of a flat area.

Because in the warm, Mississippi summer months all around is nothing but cotton fields. And the house just "stands out" from the rest.
