Just thought I would share this.....but sadly there does not seem to be any interest by young people.
I guess we have to get old to appreciate "old stuff"...LOL

We had a speaker, an archaeologist from Lacrosse, WI.....Robert F. Boszhardt
Wrote a book on Upper Midwest Native American Rock art...."Hidden Thunder: Rock Art of the Upper Midwest"

This was of interest to me as growing up in central Wisconsin....I was familiar with a few sites.
One in particular was Roche-A-Cri State Park/ Campground...where we had family picnic's..
Was covered in his book......
Can't see much....From this pic.....but this is open to the public...many are not open, and locations are kept secret... as people had destroyed or even tried to steal parts of it.
Is on a "mound" (What we call them).....that dot the area, left over islands, in the glacial lake bed that was not flattened out the last glacial
(climbed many of these as a your man on "campouts" and various adventures)

Looking for pic's that were presented...but maybe had a copywrite on them?
Was pretty interesting ...as some were showing several people with bow an arrow and long horned bison....which means are only know for 700 years old in North America.
Example of water color art paintings that are similar to the petroglyphs by Geri Schrab the illustrator on the book.
