Cahokia - Mound 5 submitted by bat400 on 10th Jul 2007. Mound 5 appears in the background. I am standing next to the stockade reconstruction. An Earthwatch dig was going on in a trench across the path of the stockade, although no one was working that day.

Cahokia - Mound 42
Trip No.2 Date Added: 9th Apr 2017
Site Type: Artificial Mound
Country: United States (Great Lakes Midwest)
Visited: Yes on 10th Jul 2007
Cahokia - Mound 42 submitted by bat400 on 10th Jul 2007. Mound 42 was a platform mound directly west of Monk's Mound. Originally there was a smaller, oval second platform on its SW corner. Beyond this well-preserved mound you can make out a low mound partially blocking the view of the Woodhenge reconstruction (where the cars are parked.)
Looming up on the horizon is the East St Louis landfill, a modern testiment to our never ending consumption.

Log Text: A huge, sprawling site that gives you more and more if you spend some time at both the museum and walking the huge expanse. I've visited many times starting in the mid 1990's. The earthen mounds are so large and so many in number that it's easy to become overwhelmed and a bit numb ("... oh, there's another mound ...")
Walking around the site and climbing to the top of the largest earthwork in the US, Monk's Mound, gives you an idea of the size of the site. This is a truncated pyramid with several terraces. The footprint is larger than that of the stone pyramids of Giza.

Log Text: From a parking area, you'll need to walk nearly a mile (one way) over a saddleback to where the structure stands on a flat area on the slope of the mountain. The walk is on a graveled roadway, and is not difficult. However, be prepared for wind, sun, and the altitude, which can be taxing for many people.
