When you are living in the desert you have sunny days all the time. During the summer there is no reason to even check the weather report unless you want to see if we are hitting a new record temperature. The greatest thing about the summer months though is Arizona gets some great monsoons. It does not last very long but when it happens it brings a smile to my face. Massive lightning that lights up the sky. Thunder shaking my apartment and rain coming down hard.

Back in the middle of March I decided to take a little stroll up a mountain here in the Phoenix area. Unfortunately I did not realize it was going to take over an hour to reach the summit which is 2704 feet up. It was a great view once reaching the top though. So here I am at the top of Camelback Mountain.

It was day 5 of my trip to Arizona and and I was driving on I-40 going west. I had been driving in AZ for about an hour when all of a sudden a giant dinosaur popped up out of nowhere. Then a few minutes later another one showed up very close to the road. Had I been driving to long? Was I starting to hallucinate after looking at the road for hours and hours? After composing myself I continued to drive until I saw a sign for Stewart’s Petrified Wood Shop and it said that this place also had dinosaurs. My curious self decided to stop at this wood shop and take a look around.
Really not knowing what to expect I pulled off at exit 303. To get to the place you have to go on a dirt road and up a very small cliff. Once I parked my car it was time to look around. It was a very odd place with nothing around it for miles except the highway. As I started to walk around a bit I noticed a man starring at me from a window inside the shop. This creeped me out out for a second but then I started to walk towards this man and look inside the shop. This man I guess was Stewart and he informed me that the rock shop was opened in 1994 and the dinos were added as an attention grabber. Here are 2 videos I shot at this strange but pretty interesting place.
