Nice pictures and post! I haven't been down to Arizona in a long time. I imagine it is pretty hot down there now. I'm definitely more acclimated to cooler climates now. When we went through the desert near LA my son almost got heat stroke - thats about as far South as he has been.

I remember seeing Carlsbad Caverns in Arizona a long time ago - that was definitely worth it. We went past the Petrified Forest but didn't stop. It looks like a fun place to take photos, I'll put it on my list for next time if I'm ever down that way...
