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.
