Serpent Mound, Ohio

 Back in a remote corner of the eastern hill country of Ohio is a the Serpent Mound. The earth works represent a giant serpent with an egg in its mouth.  The mounds are less than eye height, so the scale is completely different than what I was expecting. We were told by the ranger that the mounds had been reconstructed.
