Let me try and catch up on everything thing I've done since the last time I blogged.
From Carlsbad Caverns we drove to Albuquerque, NM to stop at an REI to pick up a few last minute camping/hiking supplies. From there we drove to Holbrook, AZ which is 
right outside of Petrified Forest Naitonal Park. We ate dinner at a family-owned Mexican restaurant on the famous Route 66. The food was great and we actually discovered that the restaurant was a home base for the Disney movie CARS. After dinner we headed to our second CouchSurfing location, the house of Kip Woolford. Kip was an AMAZING host, as he really made us feel at home, and even made breakfast for us. He was also a park ranger at Petrified Forest, so we were able to get some inside information on the park. The next morning we went to the park, where we got to see Kip 
in action, and then we explored the park for a lil while. The petrified wood (wood turned into rock) was surely unique in its colors and wood grain-like patterns, but the story of how this desert land used to be a river full of logs was amazing. The park also provided 
an amazing view of The Painted Desert, which only got me excited for our trip to the Grand Canyon.
