Yesterday, I visited the Ely Mound Historical Marker, located along the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail driving route. You can see the Ely Mound while you stand at its historical marker. I wanted to launch the "30 Stops in 30 Days" blogging blitz with Stone Face Rock as Stop # 1, which I did. Perhaps Stone Face Rock may be the one unifying sentimental symbol shared by most all Lee County residents?? And I wanted Ely Mound to be in among the early stops, as a celebration that our Lee County history goes WAY back. Lee County's geological features and archaeology treasures can be quite amazing and absolutely intriguing. (And I haven't even mentioned Lee County's biodiversity yet... we'll talk about biodiversity when we visit our state-owned natural area preserves this month.) Here some photos from yesterday's excursion to see the Ely Mound, Stop # 5.
Next I'll get some more information up about the sites we've visited. I will also start sketching out the plans for some of the next stops. And I'll send out some invites to welcome others to join in on our authentic Appalachian adventures....
