4 - I've never been to the Great Serpent Mound on my birthday (or ever, really)



Accomplice: Mrs. Piper

For the uninitiated, the Great Serpent Mound is a 1,330-foot-long, three-foot-high prehistoric effigy mound located on a plateau of the Serpent Mound crater along Ohio Brush Creek in Adams County, Ohio.

There is absolutely no reason why I shouldn't have went before now. I'm insanely curious about ancient cultures and civilizations, of mysteries of the past, and I live less than two hours away.

They say it resembles a snake eating an egg, but I think it looks like a gigantic sperm.
