Looking for petrified wood

Well, looking for petrified wood wasn't exactly what we were doing, it was more like picking up petrified wood since there is so much of it out in the place we went to. You have to pick only the best pieces otherwise you end up with full pockets after only a short time. I was looking for stuff I could cut and polish and there was plenty of it. Everyone had pockets full within ½ hour. This place is on the old Milford District where I used to work and I've known about it for many years. I've shown several people where it is but for the most part it is a place known only to me.

I saw this old juniper tree out there and thought it was pretty picturesque so I took this picture. There was a dry front coming through today and it was very windy and not very warm. I'm used to hot and dry this time of year and we had the dry part but it was not hot at all. I could have had it another 20° warmer and still would have been cool as a cucumber. Oh well, ya gotta take what you get with the weather.
