Well, these are some various pics from the Petrified Forest and The Painted desert. It was cool and WINDY but we persevered and traipsed the trails.. Pretty cool seeing all those beautiful pieces of petrified wood and amazing to know that as much as is there, more has been carried off, both prior to the making of this area a nation park and unbelievably, since, as people continue to tote off pocket sized pieces. At left, dennis is examining pottery sherds found and left at an ancient Indian site. the "house" had 80 to 90 rooms and housed about 15 families. Being quite tired of the wind, we headed east to Bottomless Lakes near Rosewell, NM. On the way we stopped at the quaintest little roadside cafe.....in Pie ville, NM. Yes, they served pie.....oh there was peaches n cream (my choice) apple with a oatmeal yummy something streudle (dennis' choice) strawberry rhuebarb, blueberry, banana cream, coconut cream, Almond joy, and several more I cannot remember!! One lady owned the shop, she and another younger gal ran it......and yes, The Waitress was both of their favorite movie!!!! If you gals out there haven't seen it....grab a girlfriend, box of tissues and rent it....its good. Brought back memories of Colorado!
