Effigy Mounds NM, IA and Canoeing on the Mississippi

We did so much during our 2 week stay at Holman, WI, that I still have two more posts before I can move on!

One day there we spent the day traveling along the Mississippi to Effigy Mounds in Iowa.  That day we saw 6 bald eagles in different areas along the river.  The river scenery with the wildflowers is so beautiful! We stopped at another of the 27 or so dams on the river to watch a tug boat pushing 12 barges, some topped with vanes for giant windmills!  A great day!

 Effigy Mounds National Monument holds 206 known prehistoric mounds, 31 in the form of animal
effigies.  Thought to be religious sites, over 10,000 were originally documented in the 1800s and early 1900s.  Now fewer than 1,000 survive.




it is very difficult to see the mounds unless you are walking along side them
