Scott's Birthday - Indian Mounds

For Scott's 30th birthday we went out to Pine Island and saw ancient Indian mounds. I know this doesn't look like much but after living in Florida for 2 1/2 years, this is a mountain!

The neat thing about the mounds where the Native Americans built their homes is that they are made of shells which was actually like their trash heap! After they ate what was in the shells they discarded them to make the mounds.

This is a view from the top of one of the mounds. The water is the Gulf of Mexico. It would be a great view if not for the sign.
