Painted Desert and Petrified Forest

Many folks don't realize that these two areas sit right next to each other.  Largely, the Painted Desert is located to the North of I-40 near Holbrook, AZ and the petrified wood can be found to the South of the same Interstate in the same area.

On the way to Holbrook, we experienced some snow in the area of the Continental Divide in New Mexico and then a bit more in the OK Campground over night.  This is the first experience for DV (our RV) with snow - something Deb and I always said would Never happen.  Well, never say never I guess.  Naturally, for large portions of the country, this has pretty much been a Winter of nothing but snow and you will see our experience as laughable.

There are very few of these photos that have captions.  As you are about to see, much of what we experienced is just beyond words.  If you enjoy what you see, I encourage you to visit these locations, if not in person, then via the internet.
