Another piece of petrified wood from the Petrified Forest area. The most interesting thing about this piece is the shop where I bought it. Located off I40, the former Route 66. It's on a hill just off the highway, perfect for placing some tacky fake dinosaurs and old school buses to attract travelers to the shop. Plus feeding ostriches, a perfect Route 66 roadside attraction/shop.
There were many fine polished pieces of petrified wood but I prefer something more raw (and much cheaper). So I bought this $5 rock and got the little piece free. It was another $5 to feed the ostriches. They did nipple my fingers a bit but not very painful. They do not seem like they would make good pets, a tad aggressive and large.
I love route 66 ! I traveled it many time across country when it was in it's prime . Many great memories .
Thank you very much Manikan. It is still fun with ghost towns and towns that have embraced their Route 66 heritage.
Thank you

What is Ostrich Chow like?
Thank you very much cameosleuth. It is bird seed as can be seen falling from the center ostrich in photo 3.
