Cursed Pyramid Ruins

This is in fact bs - it's a bunch of stone slabs haphazardly thrown on top of one another being drowned by shrubs and sticker bushes. We walked to the end of the outlook and down two sides to be sure; it looks as though the surrounding water ponds are filled with toxins as the color of the water is a very bright green. Kind of a wasted trip. The Pyramids at the front gate are still there, however, someone must have gotten mad about going all the way out there because both have been lopped in half, the top of each was gone long ago.

Cursed Pyramid Ruins

Address:
Old Hwy 37, Needmore, IN
Directions:
Nine miles north of Bedford -- or about 14-15 miles south of Bloomington -- on Hwy 37. At a very lonely stoplight, far from any others, turn southeast onto "Old Highway 37." The street sign is very tiny; look instead for the Crest Motel, Citgo station, Evans Grocery. Old Hwy 37 dead-ends four miles later at the abandoned park. Walk a quarter-mile to the pyramid ruins on the right. Private property - obey posted signs.
