We left the tour in Albuquerque and headed for a few days in Sedona. En rte we stopped to see the Petrified Forest National Park. As a child Al's Aunt and Uncle brought him a piece of Petrified Rick from there and he always wanted to visit. It truly is an amazing place. Millions of years ago forests toppled and were covered with mud, sand, lake beds. Over time minerals seeped into the wood and eventually the wood became rock. (Very simple explanation!). We took a 25 mile drive through the park stopping to see amazing views and sites. Newspaper Rock coveted with petroglyphs made thousands of years ago were still easily seen with our binoculars.
