Mounds Of Fun!
When the list of the Seven Wonders of The World was compiled, the great Pyramids of the Giza plateau were included, but not those in North or South America. Cohula Pyramid located in Mexico is the worlds largest. It covers three and a half times the area of Cheop's Great Pyramid. Cahokia *Mound east of St.Louis likewise occupies more space than the largest Egyptian Pyramid. North America also is home to the largest effigy mounds, geometric earthwork complexes, and hilltop enclosures, with *90% located in Ohio. One thousand years before George Washington ever heard of the place the Hopewell people were constructing a great road lined with embankments through the Ohio Valley: The Great Hopewell Road.*
The Southeast Ohio Beemers announces the inaugural, historically-themed Hopewell Road Rally on May 1-3, 2015*at Hocking Hills State Park Campgrounds near Logan, Ohio. The rally offers some of the best riding roads east of the Mississippi River. Named in honor of the Great Hopewell Road,*the rally offers three levels of rides to allow the enjoyment of this phenomenal setting for all skill levels and dual sport motorcycle types. Two guided rides on Saturday will take you to the largest geometric earthworks, effigy mounds, and hilltop enclosures in the world constructed by the Hopewell Indians. The historic sites include Hopewell Culture National Park, Serpent Mound, Seip Mound, Fort Hill, Leo Petroglyphs, Ash Cave, Newark Earthworks, and the Tarlton Cross. A dual-sport GS ride is offered, as well as self guided rides. The campgrounds are very friendly with plenty of shaded spots, both primitive and electric, RV hookups, mini cabins, and hot showers. *This rally will feature Friday*night chili with all the fixings, Sat night dinner*at Lake Hope Lodge with all the trimmings, two historic guided rides to the World Heritage sites in Ohio, a Sat GS ride, self guided rides,door prizes and hot coffee/beverages.
