The Platt Family Corps of Discovery: Drive on Route 66, Painted Desert and Petrified Forest

We packed up, on the fifth, and left to see the Painted Desert and the Petrified Forest National Park.  Due to the long drive we had to stop off in Chambers, NM.  








We stopped at various places along Route 66, including the car statues that you can paint graffiti on.






Along the way we took a detour to see the Petrogyphs, but it was too dark when we got there.  We enjoyed a lightening storm over the Morro Petrogyphs.  It was beautiful.  Then we headed to Chambers to stay at a wonderful Days Inn there.  The next morning we woke up, enjoyed a wonderful continental breakfast and headed out to the Petrified Forest.  







We enjoyed about four hours in the park, the kids worked hard to earn their Jr. Ranger badges, and then headed onto the Grand Canyon.
