Petrified Forest-April 24

                 We went to see the the ruins of an old Pueblo and saw the mesa and valleys below.


We saw Petroglyphs on a lot of rocks. The Hopi think this is a stork carrying away a bad child. Others now think it is an Ibis carrying a frog. See the water droplets below.
We were right on the edge of a very high drop-off. Spectacular views.

Our first glimpse of Petrified Wood- at the visitors center

Lots of wildflowers.These are bigger than it appears.

Kiva  ruin.

Remains of a Pueblo. People lived here for 13,000 years.

Hard to see here- but the dark area has lots of Petroglyphs 
More Petroglyphs.
