Well we started the day by heading out to find that corner in Winslow, Arizona to stand on and guess what? We found someone to join us!

And then we even found a flatbed Ford! Pretty cool!

So we headed off down good ole' Route 66! We found some pretty cool stuff on that old road. Like the Wigwam Motel in Holbrook,

And this old Dairy Queen sign!

And this old car that was abandoned off of Route 66 during the Dust Bowl.

So we finally made it to the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest and let me say it was really interesting and yet again had may different landforms!

The Petrified Forest is full of pieces of wood that were washed down a prehistoric river over 200 million years ago. The logs got stuck under the water and were buried under many layers of volcanic rock, soil, and other minerals and rocks. Over the years the wood cells were replaced with quartz cells when the water carried the different minerals into the wood and preserved them. They were uncovered many years later through the elements and at that time were "petrified" Pretty neat as they really are rock solid and hard.

And this one is called "Old Faithful" due to the weight and size. It was huge!

We traveled on into the Painted Desert where we saw these "tepees" that were formed and given their different colors from different minerals. Thus painted...very pretty!

This beautiful scene is another one of the red rocks of the Painted Desert.

We even saw Newspaper Rock with some petroglyphs.

And back in Winslow we saw this neat little guy. Kinda reminded me of Luigi from the movie Cars or of an antique Smart Car!
