A History Lesson

While driving through New Mexico and Arizona we are always amazed at the extent of the lava fields. Ancient volcanoes spewed their debris for miles and miles, covering the land with porous, black rocks. Every so often, we'll see a pointed mountain in the distance---probably an extinct volcano. A trek through this country is like a history lesson. It makes one more aware of the geological changes that have taken place throughout the ages. Unfortunately, the same thing happens to people, but it's a lot faster!
