Petroglyphs in the fields

From the wonders of Iowa, we wended our way to Minnesota. After a visit with Thelma's brother, Don Mulder, we traveled across the state, watching the land change from the green farms of the mid west to the dry plains. At Jeffers we walked over rock outcroppings which were marked with Native American petroglyphs. Since we came with the sun high overhead, they were nearly invisible to the human eye. The site and its markings are sacred and Native peoples from across the country continue to come here to worship. The red rock is so full of iron that it attracts lightning and there images of lightning snakes and thunderbirds in many places on the rock.
