petrified forest- Caitlin

so, we went to the petrified forest in Arizona, it was pretty cool. lots of trees that have turned into rocks, for me, I wasn't as interested in the rocks but actually thinking about how once upon a time they were living (Triassic period) I liked how the whole area was once a flood plain. we also saw a bunch of petroglyphs, which were drawings that people made on rocks a long time ago.

we also saw a petrified log bridge, and painted mountains and tipi rocks which were rocks that had a red and blue layer as well as the natural rock layer.

we also went to an ostrich farm which was weird...

then we drove though a wildfire, on the freeway we were right next to it... kind of crazy...

well we're at the grand canyon now, so, bye
