Picture a lush forest with pools of water lined with vegetation. 225 million yeas ago this is what Arizona looked like.

Very hot. We explored the miles of park helmet-less & protective gear-less. Hey, if your not living on the edge you're taking up too much space!
Ancient graffiti (petroglyphs) from the hood. I'd love to know what these say.

| Route 66 |
Route 66 cuts through Arizona. This is a remnant of a car left off Route 66 just outside the petrified forest.
Sahuaro in the heart of Phoenix. Hard to imagine all the produce, cattle, and crops harvested in the desert. We had a hard time walking in the sweltering 105 degree Phoenix heat. Can't imagine doing any kind of work in it.
