Ha Ha Tonka State Park and STL

---

The first part of June Ken came to STL and we spent a great two weeks together. We took a day trip to Ha Ha Tonka State Park (S.E. part of the Lake of The Ozarks). There are many great trails and a super cool old castle. Well, it's not a real old castle. Built the first part of the 20th century, but the material where bought in from europe (whoa). It caught fire and burnt twice. Finally after three different owners, it was made into a state park.

We toured a Frank Lloyd Wright house that is about 2-3 miles from our home in St. Louis (very cool). I liked it more than Ken did. One day I dragged Ken to the Cahokia Mounds in Ill. The mounds were first settled by Late Woodland Indians around 700 AD. The mounds are the largest prehistoric earthen construction in the American... if that means anything too you.
