Jr Park Ranger: DeSoto National Memorial

This memorial has several "key" spots.   There is a beautiful walk through the wooded area that leads you by some markers and historical sites (i.e. shell piles from the Native Americans) and other monuments to the priests who, unfortunately, do not have the best testimony to their faith.    DeSoto was an explorer who helped map out areas of the South East to the Mississippi river.     There was a weapons demonstration here, the boys were interested in seeing all the different tools that were used to maim people and how the technology changed over time.   They also discovered that the bow and arrow was much more accurate and quicker than the rifle at the time.    There is a movie in the Visitor's Center, we skipped it due to wanting to go get lunch.     Overall, a nice park, would definitely go back.
