Petrified Forest


On Saturday we drove out to Ellensburg to have lunch with Auntie Pea. After lunch we continued east to the banks of the Columbia River, and stopped to take a look at the scenery. It's hard to believe that only 2 hours in the car could take us to a place that looks so much different than home. We even saw tumbleweeds blowing across the highway.

This picture is from the Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park. A few million years ago, this part of the state was covered with trees. The wind was blowing like crazy...Nora and I were struggling to walk against it.

It's unique landscape, isn't it?
