Possibly few people of Winslow
are aware of the fact that we
have two small petrifed forests
near town. The first one, being
about 4 miles east of the river;
the other one being considerably
smaller is about + miles north
west of town. The best way to
get there is to go north to the
3 mile Buttes then west a mile to
the top of the hill. Although
not large, still lots of wood can
be found and several tree trunks
are visible though partially COW
cred up. This wood makes pref
ty ornaments when ground and
polished. The day will come
when petrifed wood will be a
thing of the past, so visit these
places and see the stilluntouched

shown this spring that trees,
flowers and grass is being grown
where no one ever thought that
such a thing could be done. Any
thing can be grown anywhere in
