Cahokia was inhabited for 700 years starting about 700 AD and had a population that was as much as 100,000. It is about 50 miles from St Louis and is the largest archeological site in the US.
Thanks for the pictures. I have been to St. Louis and was very impressed by the Arch and St. Louis. It is something which always brings out good memories.

@raprap,
Did you know they had to design a build a unique elevator system that stays upright at all times? I took my family there in the early sixties, and also visited Six Flags amusement park when we lived in Naperville.

@vonny,
I walked on that wall in York about three decades ago! Also visited the train museum.
A video I edited and set to Edvard Grieg's classical music composition, Hall of the Mountain King.
I also want to thank the participants in this thread and the other picture threads. Coming here and seeing what is posted is the highlight of my day many thanks for the great trip around the world friends.
