BURIED FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS, Petrified Forest Day 24

It all started with 200 foot trees millions of years ago! This day was so puzzling to us. How did this happen? It started as a forest and ended as a desert. #vanliferocks #vanlife #travel #campervan #nationalpark #nationalparkpass #petrifiedwood #desert #arizona #whipplepoint #petrifiedforest #tiponipoint #painteddesertinn #bluemesa #nizhonipoint #route66roadtrip #studebaker #petroglyphs #erosion #history #science #agate #agatebridge #dinner #elmodelomexicanfoods

I’ve seen a different video of that park with tons of it laying around. There is a trail to hike up I believe. Too bad weather wasn’t so good for y’all. I’d put that on my bucket list for sure. Nice paper plates, lol. Happy travels 🚐 cactus 🌵

Hey Janel! Yes, lots of information about The Petrified National Forest. Kevin was in his glory being a woodworker. Paper plates are an added bonus for Leann, the dishwasher. lol. 😂 Thanks for the comment.

Nice video! Thank you! I've driven by the west entrance of the park several times (I live about two hours to the south) but have never gone into it. The wood is in the Chinle formation. I've found some small pieces (dime size) of it in road cuts along some of the paved roads in Apache county--- legal to collect BTW. I recently found about a four pound hunk on private property.

Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video. That’s really cool that you are able to find pieces of the wood. We live in Florida and find shark teeth in our oceans and rivers. Many people have found other really cool fossils.
