JP and I had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful weather at Cahokia Mounds. As we drove to the national historical site, where the Cahokia Mounds are located, JP stared in awe with his head out of the window at the huge mounds made by the Indian tribe. JP and I had to stop to catch our breath as we walked up the steep staircase that leads to the top of the highest mound. When we reached the pinnacle of the mound, it felt as if we had just finished climbing a tall mountain. From this vantage point, JP and I could see the vast plains of Illinois, and realized why this was such an attractive site for the tribes to settle in the first place. Total miles JP has traveled: 1447.10 Latitude Cahokia Mounds: 38.631000N Longitude Cahokia Mounds: 89.7844W
