- At Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, there can be found an abundance of fossilized wood dating back hundreds of millions of years, lining the trails and topping the hillsides. Although it's illegal, many visitors steal this beautiful wood from the park. But surprisingly, a lot of it has been returned, with apologetic notes! Conor Knighton explores the stories attached to the park and its alleged "curse."
Just returned from a trip there and it's beautiful and no one cut the wood it broke that way in the process of forming
Wow, who would have thought.
I grew up in So. Cal. and remember seeing petrified wood in peoples yards. I have never been to the park but a lot of it came to California. I'm sure there is still a lot of pieces of it here in back yards or buried over the years.
People are unconscious sometimes, they do have poor judgement. I went there yesterday. It was awesome. I do not agree that it’s pointless to send the wood back and right their wrongs.
interesting
I would absolutely love to go there and take a piece of wood from that return pile :D
They could break up the returned wood and sell it to help fund the park.
why don't they sell the returned wood to care for park
I have had a piece of wood from that park in my family for decades. Didn’t know it was illicit, nor that I’m cursed.
It's been a year since your confession. Did you write the letter?
Why would you take it in the first place?
Pretty dumb to think it wasn't wrong to take artifacts from a national park.
Sell the wood Two visitors already shame it’s in a big old pile
They should at least sell the return pile to collectors or donate it to a college or other school.
Who cut all that in firewood lengths and left it there?
