It’s a rock. Shaped like a couch. Yay. This is just down the road from Eckley Miners’ Village. I heard some very silly stories attached to it. Lying down on it is said to cause cuts, sickness, or death should you be foolish enough to lie on it...
Actual dinosaur footprints? In their original location and undisturbed? NOT plaster casts? I had to see. As a kid, I was big into dinosaurs. I know most kids were, but most kids also thought of them as big lizard things that ate each other and cavemen. I could...

A pyramid in Indiana? Sort of. Back in the 50’s, a 1/5 scale Great Pyramid and a portion of the Great Wall were to have been built for a new development. Long story short, the funding stopped, and the development never came to be. Old Highway 37 just….stops....
