One of the ride or dies and I went on a road trip through southern Illinois over the weekend. So many cool places there that I weren't expecting. We stayed maybe 10 minutes away from the Kincaid Mounds, a remote Native American site that is surprisingly untouched for it being so large. I've been to a lot of mound sites and generally the parks or historical societies go overboard trying to make the site a tourist attraction or informative. This site is really just in a field with some signs around it and nothing else, which wouldn't be so surprising except for how large the mounds are. These aren't burial mounds, but I've seen several parks built entirely around town mounds less impressive than this so I was surprised how untouched this site was.
