On Saturday, June 23, 2012, Karl Dupre led a Nashville TTA hike to Pinson Mounds State Park near Lexington TN.  The Pinson Mounds is the largest group of Middle Woodland (AD 1-500) mounds in the United States.  Sauls' Mound, at 72 feet, is the second highest surviving mound in the US.  The park is an interesting area to walk around - the mounds are spread over a large area and many are aligned with the astronomical seasons.  Because they are all covered with trees, though, they're not very photogenic.  We had a good orientation to the area at the museum.  After the hike, we had a nice lunch at Bell's Drive In in Lexington.
