Petrified Wood Adventure

Trip advisor for the win! I stumbled across a family’s dig site on their land outside the petrified forest... . Aka I sucked it up and had a one on one interaction, texted a stranger, followed their truck down a random dirt road, went off roading for a bit...and let the kids get filthy while using shovels and pick axes in soft rocky dirt. . The ranch family just sat in their car after a brief demonstration, answered our questions, and waited for me to declare I was done with it all. . C could have stayed much longer and was very proud of his big find -especially when able to officially wash it off. He said the ones I picked up for sale at the site didn’t count. And he has requested his own rock hounding tools... I used I need to find more rock adventure sites. . And we came home with a bag full for 20$. This is why you go to the source. .
