Grants, NM and Petrified National Forest

April 11th-Wednesday-We arrived at Grants, NM and met up again with June, Tim and Aisling. We had a fun dinner in the lobby.  We left Thursday morning and tried to avoid the high winds and enjoyed touring the Petrified National Forest on our way to Holsbrook, Az..  It is the first place that we were able to tour with Miss Jim B.  It was fun driving through the park and stopping at all the overlook and points of interest.  One place we were able to see petroglyphs on the rock wall through telescopes. They had great big pull outs and parking lots.  We enjoyed this park very much.  It was amazing seeing the petrified wood and our favorite was walking the crystal rock trail.  Janae at one point said, I just love this! She wanted to go back another day but we weren't able. Beautiful colors in the rock from all the minerals entering the wood as it lay under the water.  It was windy, sunny and cold but we enjoyed our day and even got two more junior ranger badges.
