Hmmm.....

You simple, boy?

The one I was thinking of died in 1985.

She was run over by a Jeep. The driver decided to go 4 wheeling over the mounds one night.

Geronimo killed Custer there. Duh........

Nuclear rocket silos from the cold war period. Edwin Edwards set up the deal for a $500 payoff.

I was told when I went to LSU in 1972 that that is where they piled the dirt from excavating the old pool.....

True.

Was neck still banned at that time? I can't remember.

They were probably used for "ceremonial and marking point purposes," rather than for burial purposes. The 20 feet (6.1 m) tall mounds are thought to be more than 5,000 years old. That date would make them part of the oldest mound system in North America, Mesoamerica or South America and also means they predate the building of the Great Pyramids of Egypt.

sounds like they don't know how old they are and guessed 5,000 years, then said, hell that makes them older than the pyramids... so is there an ancient wood or stone foundatin under there or were they much bigger at some point?

Courtney was a few years behind me in school. I finished in 83'. She was on the mound with football player Jimmy Goodrum.
