We took a trip down to L.A. (lower Alabama) last week knowing we were about to be wrapped up with Christmas festivities. We camped the first two nights at Foscue Campground near Demopolis, AL. It is an Army Corps of Engineer campground. Heading back north, we decided to stay a couple of nights at the Moundville Archaeological Park . When we checked in the attendant told us the gate would be locked from 6pm till 7am. We could come and go but would have to unlock and lock the combination lock/chain passing through the gate. The two nights in park, we were the only people locked inside. I would tell my wife, "it is just you and me Babe, along with 50k+ dead Indians". We slept like tired children. Click here to read the Wikipedia version of the site. It is a very cool place. It was even better in the days of yore when the museum (built atop a mound) had several exposed burials with skeletons and the artifacts buried with the dead. There was a photo of this in my 4th and 9th grade Alabama History books. In the name of what amounts to wokeness, those displays in all of their splendor have been boxed up and stowed away in some musty warehouse or basement somewhere. The display in the museum is nice, but many items were missing only to be replaced by signs which read "item currently on loan" I may do a follow up later regarding the story of the alleged "alien connection" to Moundville.
