Well another summer field season has come and gone at the Petrified Forest. The student interns left at the end of last week and hopefully they enjoyed themselves and learned a lot. Jeff and I will continue fieldwork through the end of the year, but I wanted to share a few scenic photos from this past summer to emphasize once again what a beautiful field area we have.
