Before this..........




We took one of the Best trips ever through Fish Creek and Olla Wash. It is such a bummer our trip had to end with the camper rolling off the truck.





Kids pretty much ran the entire section of fish creek starting from split mountain to the anticline.


a stop at the anticline is always a must.


We headed up the south fork of fish creek in search for the mysterious Petrified forests of Fish Creek


Up a few washes...


and down a few dry falls

and there it was, a 100 million year old forest of the ancestral Colorado river!


the lone huge chunks we picked up to feel the heavy weight!


and were careful not to mess up the small guys



Simply amazing to step back in time and ponder what it was like!






It is crazy that every time we go out we find some kind of evidence of the people who once called this place home




a miracle in the desert!





we then headed up to Olla Wash to Visit the Mud Palisades



the walls close in pretty tight!




Here is the last picture of the rig....before it rolled off
