The two RV Gypsies visited |
Karen aimed her camera into the side-view mirror to try and show the very large cloud of dust forming behind their truck because of driving on the dirt road. |

Below is a sign about the Petroglyphs and a rock with examples of Petroglyphs (not real). |

The St. Victor Petroglyphs are one of Saskatchewan's mysteries. No one knows exactly who carved them, why they were carved or even when they were carved. All that is certain is that they provide clues to the people who lived on Saskatchewan's plains hundreds of years ago at a time predating any of our written records.For preservation and public safety, access to the glyphs is restricted. However, there is a lookout point where visitors are able to look down on the glyphs. The best time to view the glyphs is on a clear day in the early morning or towards sunset when the shallow grooves cast shadows which define and outline the shapes. An interpretive panel and a reproduction of selected glyphs are also available, near the picnic area and washrooms. Admission to the site is free. This site is a Museums Association of Saskatchewan member. |

Although the two RV Gypsies have seen many Petroglyphs before, they took a short hike to see the Petroglyphs located here. |
|
The two RV Gypsies came to a fence and tried to see the Petroglyphs that are said to be in these rocks, but even zooming in on them, they just could not make them out. |
|
The two RV Gypsies have seen lots of Petroglyphs at other places, and they wished they could have seen the Petroglyphs here was well. But they did enjoy the site anyway, as everything is a learning experience. |

Back on the main road, a truck with very wide equipment was coming at the two RV Gypsies. |
