Petrified Forest National Park

Posting from the Plaza Laundry in Cortez CO, via piggybacked wireless access courtesy of Mickey D's restaurant across the road.  What a country!

Can't say enough good about Petrified Forest National Park, so for anyone reading this I'll just say:  plan a visit.  Tempted to say get up and visit now, but I guess there really isn't any rush -- the fossilized trees are about 225 million years old and pretty heavy, since they are actually stone.  They aren't going anywhere, and termites aren't a problem.

And the terrain -- the Painted Desert -- is gorgeous.

Suggested soundtrack for your visit:  Petrified Man by The Waybacks



A picture is worth a thousand words.  I'll shut up and let the park speak:
