How am I this many years old, and have never heard about the Cahokia, having more or less grown up in Minnesota. Our American history classes seriously fail us. Just tagged it on my public library app to read next.
Really good read! Glad I'm not the only one who goes from my tent to my car when I can't sleep. Also you made a great point about America's history. More people should read up on the ingenious cultures that thrived well before the arrival of European settlers.
Yeah it’s funny how age (and maturity?) affect our perception of fun. I’ve had some wipe out trips; freezing rain, flooded tent, soaked gear, stuck car, kayak patched with duct tape. (Btw sleeping in a wet down bag will not dry it out) At the time it was no big deal. Now I’d probably bag it and find a hotel 🤪.

Highly recommend! I also didn’t learn about it in school but saw a PBS special on it and was absolutely fascinated! Highly recommend the book!
