there were pueblos which were oc-
cupied by a race whose ancestors
lived in the same place for centur-
les Over across the way we saw a
petrified forest centuries old. Cross
ing the tablelands were narrow
clefts of great depths and gorges
of many-colored rock, and great for
ests covering the higher slopes. The
one thing that was great treat to
our eyes was the painted desert,
covered with its different kinds of
cacti in full bloom. This was so
different from the plant life back
East. On the plains we saw herds
of cattle and flocks of sheep graz
ing. Cowboys and sheep herders
were everywhere in sight.
