Today was another driving day. We saw plenty of desert and some amazing forests( in Flagstaff). The weather was favorable for the most part. We set off from NM at about 11 am and the weather wasn't so hot yet. Then as we proceeded more westward, the sporadic cloud coverage kept us cool. We stopped at the Nat'l Petrified Forest in Arizona. We saw the beautiful Painted Desert, which are another set of badlands similar to the ones in the Dakotas. Andrew and Ethan were sworn in a official Jr. Rangers. Then we traveled to the southern part of the park to view the petrified trees. Those were amazing! Some looked like fallen logs others were pieces scattered among the eroding badlands.
Now off to Flagstaff for dinner. We stopped for dinner at the mall which had a mountain right next to it. Looking at the mountain, there was mist hanging near the peak and complete darkness. Now with our stomachs filled we headed toward Kingman. We got there around 10, pulled in, and slept. The roads from Flagstaff to Kingman were windy and bumpy. Not the greatest driving conditions for driving in pitch darkness.
