Awesome Arizona - How Did I Land on the Moon?


Can you imagine trying to cross this terrain?  No wonder so much of this area is called the Badlands.
In yesterday's post I said that Arizona's topography startles the senses and befuddles the brain, and nowhere is that more apparent than the Petrified Forest/Painted Desert area.  Forget about paying Golden Spike, a space tourism company, $750 million for a round-trip flight to the moon.  In northeastern Arizona, you can feel as though you've made a lunar landing for a measly $10*!
