I farm some development ground that the city sold and it is going to be developed so the buyer is clearing about 2 acres of timber that is "in the way" Anyway the timber use to be a grove around an old farm site that was razed years 40 years ago for the hyway bypass. I've farmed the land for four years and any rocks I would pickup I would dump at the edge of the woods. I noticed in 50 ft from edge there was a mound of dirt perhaps 30 by 60 ft. and 3 ft high. Now that they about have all the timber cut I see there is another mound of the same size about 50 ft from the first. Now all the surrounding land is flat as a piece of glass so that tells me those mounds were put there and not natural to the lay of the land. Also they have been there for at least 100 or more years as there are trees growing on these mounds that are 3 ft diamater. As this site is about one mile from the river valley here is my theory. I believe they are Indian burial grounds. This area of so. Mn. was settled about 150 yrs ago and all the cemetarys date back to the late 1800s. We know there were many Indian tribes in this area but no Indian burial grounds. So My question is how did the Indians bury their dead before the white man came? And how else can you explain those mounds?

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
