Recognize each rising foot of the mound as sacred!
"Just southeast of the town of Ocheyedan, the Mound rises an impressive 170 feet above the surrounding flood plain. It is one of the highest points in Iowa--1655 feet above sea level."

Savor it's beauty!
"The esthetic value of such beautiful and interesting geological phenomena as the Ocheyedan Mound should be appreciated by our people, and every effort should be made to prevent their destruction"

Talk about making a mountain from a molehill.

Here's just one reason I live in Colorado

Yeah, but Iowa grows corn, and corn makes bacon.
And we all love bacon, so we all love Iowa.
