Are we there yet? Day 6

---

Day 6 of the road trip takes us to the Petrified Forest. We got a late start due to the car problem, so we dropped our plans to go to Sedona. However, we were not disappointed, we entered the park via Route 40, the views of the Painted Desert were spectacular. Although Route 66 generally follows the path of the current Route 40, the original Route 66 cut through the Painted Desert at the park, which is still marked with a line of telephone poles. The Petrified trees are located at the southern end of the park, 27 miles from where we entered. It was extremely windy, as seen on some of the photos of my hair. The pictures speak for themselves, but do not do it justice. We had dinner in Historic Flagstaff at a micro brewery, and tasted their pale ale. Yes, there is a theme running here! Tomorrow we head to the Grand Canyon.

In the early days of park, people removed many of the petrified rocks to sell for profit.

Hello Al and Linda. It looks like a little piece of heaven on earth. So glad you are having a good time and no real dramas. Our country is very beautiful and diverse.
