Problems downloading the rest of the Petrified Forest photos

I will have to download the rest of the photos from home. We saw lots of amazing petroglyphs with interesting patterns. Then we stopped in the Visitor Center and looked through the displays. We had remembered that the last time we were here with the boys that there was a display filled with letters and samples of returned petrified rocks from people claiming that since they took the rocks they have had bad luck or felt guilty. They had a new display on the wall and had four letters from people. I think this is an effective display as that was the one thing we had remembered from our previous visit. The other deterent is they give you a piece of paper that lists the amount of the fine if you are caught with a piece of petrified rock from the park and there is a sign as you exit that you might be subject to a search. As you leave the park, there is  store that sells large pieces of petrified rock and smaller pieces. So if someone wants to have one of these beautiful rocks they can legally purchase one.
