We left Williams around 10:00 AM (good for us), with the goal of reaching Canyon de Chelly later that day -- around 250 miles of driving, with a short lunch  stop in Petrified Forest National Park.  We found the geology and formation process interesting, but felt that we rightly spent only an hour or so ogling rocks that used to be trees in the Cretaceous period.  Below, some fine specimens of rocks that used to be trees.

These photos aptly depict the "Petrified Forest". This beautiful scenery combined with the huge argument we had about listening, really rounded out a nearly perfect day. 

Sorry -- the rest of the time we were driving.   Not many good photo ops there.
