As I type this we are on our way to the Grand Canyon. Did you know that it costs $25 PER VEHICLE to go into the Grand Canyon?? That’s crazy to me. Yesterday we visited the Petrified Forest and they charged $10 to get in! What they do to make it look cheaper is tell you that your ticket is good for 7 days. Yeah right, I couldn’t spend 7 hours at the petrified forest, let alone 7 days.

I had somewhat of a bad day yesterday. It was really hot outside, we weren’t getting any internet because we were in the middle of nowhere and Widget was being really negative. At one point I told CM that I just wanted to go home!

Overall, the Petrified Forest was alright. We were nearly out the door before we saw our first glimpse of petrified wood. You could see where the trees had fallen, but when you touched them the were stone. The kids really enjoyed running along the hiking trails.

At night we looked for a place to camp. Everywhere was pretty much too expensive. Either the site was expensive, but really nice, or expensive and really creepy. The pic at the top is of an RV campground we checked out last night. They wrote the price on the door and gave instructions to put the money in an envelope and slide it under the door. They didn’t ask for license plate numbers or give you any kind of receipt.

As we drove through the camp to check it out a guy kept staring at us and we were creeped out so we ended up boondocking for free at a Flying J gas station.
