We said farewell to beautiful Arizona this morning with a visit to the Petrified Forest National Park. Neither this space nor my fingertips will allow me to explain what Petrified all those trees, but just know it took a long time and the results are beautiful. The park is huge, comprising 52,000 acres
I did not realize that The Painted Desert, a small part of it at least, can also be seen in the park. Astounding beauty!
I’m told that this is not the only place petrifed wood can be found. In fact it has been discovered in other states and other countries. This is, however the largest find anywhere in the world.
Tomorrow we’ll continue meandering eastward, hoping to find some treasures of our more recent history along Old Route 66.
