Traveling on down the road...

Another stopping place on our travels through Northern Arizona was the Petrified Forest. We had often passed the signs driving on I-40 but never had time to stop.

This National Park is a drive-thru with several marked stops throughout the Park.


Most of the petrified pieces were located by the visitor center stop...




As we drove through the park, we saw odd & wonderful contrasts of color and shape...



Some petroglyphs...


..and a partial glimpse of the Painted Desert in the distance.

    I love the colors in the last photo - it would be fun to paint.

    Agave pups are yours. Mind if we wait until after the 10th? Going to be busy until then. There's plenty of desert marigold. They've been sprouting up around here like weeds.
