I guess if you guys don’t complain I will go on forever about Arizona. 93,500 acres of beautiful layers of bentonite clay and sandstone that have picked up eon’s of different soils, etc, giving the viewer lavender, red, orange and pink colors, with some gray mixed in…The sunlight and clouds can change the colors while you are looking at the scene.  We were east of Flagstaff at the time we toured the Painted Desert. Later, while traveling up to Page to see Lake Powell and Glen Canyon Dam and about 30 miles north of Cameron, AZ there were canyon rims that were colored like the painted desert. Today while goggling the Painted Desert the article stated the it started 30 miles north of Cameron. So, two days later we saw the start of  canyon. The Little Colorado River cuts through the Painted Desert….”Some places it even had water”…..That’s a joke, son…..
