Born and raised in Baton Rouge. Never heard of this before (I understand the parallelism of the mound on the LSU campus - played there often as a kid). Any insights from tOT?

Yeah, just north of Delhi, La. There’s a nice golf course around there, Black Bear. Lots of mounds there too but they’re part of the golf course.

Been there. It is awesome. But I’m a nerd for that kind of stuff. Had the whole place to myself pretty much. The guy working that day was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

I did a three week archeological dig there in 1994. Had a lot of fun.

Always heard you could dig just anywhere in that part of Louisiana and find something.

The main mound is shaped like a giant bird if my memory serves me correctly. Very large mesoamerican location. I believe it’s a world heritage site. I’ve been twice. Once as a kid and once as an adult taking my own kids.

Would visit often when I’d stay at Lake Providence. Very mysterious and interesting.

I took a group of juniors and seniors up there during the summer for an Ag lab credit. It wasn't bad at all. I remember someone played a fake black bear sound during one of the hikes and didn't warn any of the counselors (me and three others). I had been to N. LA before, and knew nothing of interest happened there, so panic level was 0.

No, most are pretty sweet for fishing. Surely not as many as south Louisiana, but we have our fair share
