Though I saw plenty of Pieces of Petrified Wood in my wanderings of the area, these are actually concretions and only appear to be the other.

Ramblings in The Yuha Basin 
Imperial County California

The Yuha Desert is an unusual place to wander and during the 2020-2021 Pandemic gives me the perfect place to hike and maintain Social Distancing measured not in feet but miles. Here there is evidence of Ancient waterways both Salt and fresh, Ancient Man in the form of Geolglyphs,  as well as Interesting fossils and rock formations. The Yuha Oyster Beds lay near by luring in Rock collectors looking for Fossil Oysters as well as other rock formations. The De Anza Expedition1775 also made their way through here and found water at nearby Yuha well. Many other adventures await here, but beware this is an unforgiving region for those not experienced for it.

Overlooking The Yuha Basin

Rainfall Yuha

Morning Storms passing overhead February  12 2021, got a bit wet and saw what appears to have been a small funnel over a hill in the other valley. Storm passed but was very windy with some gust the rest of the day.

Possible small funnel next valley over.

Petrified Wood

Traveling about I come across an Ancient Fossilized Tree Trunk, breaking apart into smaller pieces, it's outline still visible in the ground. These are reminders of the environment millions of years ago when different species roam the area.
