Headed back out to Petrified Forest to work on pix of petrified wood--the photo from the last trip was wrong layout for this site! The wind was gusting a little in Flagstaff about noon; out at Petrified Forest at 2:00 and down the trail the wind started to pick up. I hung out at the photo site for about 2 hours, waiting for the right light. Then the wind started to howl down in that canyon. I gave up on getting the shot when I was being pelted by stones continuously. The trek out of the canyon was perilous at the top--with 60+ mph gusts on the top of the ridge (no railing and a 200+ foot drop).I stopped at some of the glyph sites on the way out. The drive home on I-40 was work, with semi tractor/trailors laying on their sides due to the 65mph winds. I'll have to try this again when the weather cooperates. Note to self: take off the polarized sunglasses when shooting--I didn't see the spots on the lens or the sunspots.
