Rather than double back to our originally planned route, we decided to head up to Lake Tenkiller and stopped at Spiro Mounds on the way.
From the web site: "Spiro Mounds, Oklahoma’s only archaeological park, is a 140-acre site encompassing 12 southern mounds which contain evidence of an Indian culture that occupied the site from 850 A.D. to 1450 A.D. The Mounds are considered one of the four most important prehistoric Indian sites east of the Rocky Mountains."
