Petrified Forest

Short day with blustery weather.  Winds were 35+ all day with moderate thunder storms (we only hit one and that was after all the sight seeing).  We did cut one hike short and pass up others due to the wind.  It was most impressive how much the terrain would change as we drove.  Arizona has a surprising variety of climates.  Here are some pics of very hard wood and painted deserts.







Today we got as far as Gallup, NM.  Tomorrow on to Albuquerque.
