Great day yesterday!  We went back to the Petrified Forest and the Painted Desert. We hiked down into the Blue Mesa at a spot where it was only about a mile to the bottom.  It was steep, but worth it.  Words and even pictures taken with a very sophisticated camera can not show you all that we saw.  Beautiful and stark all at the same time.  God's creation is awesome.  Today is a travel day.
