    Riding shotgun on this trip is so nice as when driving I never get to see it all. We have done this trip for years and now I'm seeing things I've missed for years. Your trip is also helping us to start slowing down and look around. Probably added another week just for I40. Thanks for taking us along!

    Notice that wonderful Chinese saying by Lao Tzu on the information panel at the petrified log bridge. "In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong, nothing can surpass it".

  • @dannyburrell4014
    @dannyburrell4014 4 года назад +1

    Went there last September. Well worth the visit. We came in from the opposite side you did. We got there before the ranger. We were waiting at the gate when he arrived. He told us to go ahead he was not ready yet and let us in free. Beautiful colors and we bought some petrified wood from the visitor center and brought it back to SC. The history of how that was created is fascinating. There was a ranger at the log bridge when we were there to ensure no one tried to walk across it. There was an old car that was abandoned on the old highway 66 that is in park too. Good video.

  • @hankieski1549
    @hankieski1549 4 года назад +7

    I wonder where the petrified wood came from considering there isn't a tree for as far as you can see! Was Arizona once a forest?

    • @Dive-Bar-Casanova
      @Dive-Bar-Casanova 4 года назад +1

      Yes.

    • @JK-ff6zc
      @JK-ff6zc 4 года назад

      Yes. And swamp with big dinosaurs. The museum there has a lot of fossils found there with artist's renditions of what it all looked like then. A lot of water where it is now dry most of the year.

    • @JK-ff6zc
      @JK-ff6zc 4 года назад

      Randy Paul Well the "some people" are incorrect. Indians and dinosaurs did not coexist. No fossilized human remains have been found. What is now a high plateau was once much lower in altitude. In recent times before the modern dams were built all water in AZ was in narrow rivers with little spread into other areas. More desert than now. By having dams the water provides irrigation for large areas of AZ. Where there is irrigation there is verdant land with crops, trees, and cities. Nothing ever resembled the east coast in recent times. The trees and swamps in the petrified forest long predated any humans. Geological forces caused climate change ... Nothing to do with CO2. There were populations of humans before the present occupants. The Navajo came from tribes in Canada and were considered invaders. One reason they got along well with the US Army was because the neighboring tribes did not accept them fully. The Apaches were our original border patrols to keep out the raiding Mexican Aztecs who took slaves, sacrificial victims and crops when they could. One of the agreements for Mexico to cede land to the southern railroad was for the US Army to neutralize the Apaches... Which they did. In any case the swamps were ancient swamps. One of the mountains near Phoenix has seashells eroding from the rocks... But not like the east coast since the land mass in the West has risen. The Petrified forest area is a sedimentary plateau that is now about 5000ft above sea level.

    Good morning Russ. The petrified trees were deposited during the great flood. Replaced with silica about 4500 years ago. Thanks for the trip. The forest in wyoming was covered by the stock piles in 1960 of Sherly basin uranium mines.

    Russ some of the comments really slay me;
    "on your drone flights, when pointing out areas, zoom in on them"
    "on the storyboards, zoom in and pause so we can read them".
    " put maps up so we know where you are"
    Really people!!! This man invites us along on his trips all over the country FOR FREE. He doesn't ask us for gas money, food money or lodging money. I for one am VERY thankful for these videos. Because of health issues, I would never be able to visit any of these great places in this great country.

    @tortugalisa4748 4 года назад

    Good morning Russ! Glad to see Holbrook and Petrified Forest while sunny and dry. My husband and I went to check out some acreage to purchase back in March and all the fields on either side of I-40 were terribly flooded with standing water wherever we looked. Couldn't even drive the ranchers road through a field to the property to look at it there was so much mud and water. What a difference with sunshine and heat😊

  • @rgs455atw
    @rgs455atw 4 года назад

    I was passing by I-40 one time in the winter and it was snowing pretty hard. I stopped by the visitors center to take a break and the gates were closed into the park. I ate at the little dinner there and when I came out there was a snow plow going into the park. I asked the ranger if I could follow the plow into the park. He gave me a token that allowed me to open the gate. I was the only guest in the park and it was covered in about 5 inches of snow. The colors were spectacular contrasting the white snow. I think I shot about 300 pictures that day.

    @kimberlyshalaby1134 4 года назад

    🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! I think the petrified tree stumps were neat with the variegated colors running through them. Then looking back on that area with the rock like ledge looking hill was just as neat with all the shades of white, silver, grays, Terra cotta earth tone with that beautiful deep blue sky, was a picture perfect postcard for sure! This was really a different type of beauty. The painted dessert was neat, but, I really liked the Petrified National Forest & all the colors out there. This was really great Russ! 👍
