Petrified Forest National Park revisit

This day brings another revisit of a National Park. Even though I had already been here the weather prevented me from getting out of the vehicle on my previous visit. This time around the weather was clear so we set out for a few short walks among the “forest” during the visit, hiking both the Giant Logs and the Crystal Forest trails

The erosion of numerous layers of differently colored soil does the painting. The blue canvas on which this desert is painted is so uninterrupted that you are even able to see the snow capped Humphreys Peak just outside of Flagstaff, 120 miles away.

    Now that you are a “we”, are there any plans or thoughts in selling “Big Blue”. My wife and I might be interested and we will give her a good home. We now have a 98 Dodge conversion low top and eventually will be looking for more head space and length.
    Just curious…..

      I think there is a fair amount of time before I have to seriously think about that matter. Big Blue is not going up to Alaska with us (June – Sept) so it will be going into storage for a few months at least. Anything is possible after that.
