Today I visited Horseshoe Mound in Portsmouth Ohio, one of the last remaining mounds in the Portsmouth Earthworks system. Due to good ol' progress, the rest of the mounds were bulldozed. BULLDOZED of all things! However I can at least be thankful that this one is still up.
I came by in the afternoon, which was a mistake. A morning or evening shot would show the shape much better. However, while I was there, I was impressed by the sheer size of the mound. It must have taken forever to build it. Next on my list is either the Chilicothe mounds, or Serpent mound.
The oak is almost 170 years old.
