I was on vacation to AZ and me and my dad went to the local White Elephant and I found a nice pair of hiking boots, then later i check to see is it was made in China or Taiwan, and they turned out to be made in Italy! The brand is La Sportiva. It is all blue leather and they are water proof. Ill try to post pics Sunday. I also bought a petrified wood log for 10 bucks. its about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide.
 
Well I think the boots were a good deal. As far as the petrified wood, it will be a dust collector by next month. I am not sure there is any value to a piece that big, but then again; what do I know :icon_scratch:

I agree, the petrified wood is almost worthless but i like it so i dont care. the boots go for $275 msrp. i used the boots already.
 
Nice find on the boots. I use my pertified wood as bookends. They do collect the dust still though.
 
if the pet wood has good coloring, you might try to cut and polish it. some of it makes nice jewelry.
