Roadside Geology of Texas

Roadside Geology of Texas | Darwin Spearing

Read it all the way through and it actually works that way...and works best that way. (Previously I would flip through to the roads where we were driving.) With all that kind of boring stuff around me in Houston, it‘s cool to learn that Texas, the confluence of the Rocky and Ouachita Mountains, is a surprisingly fascinating geological place. (pictures are mine)

stretchkev No way the Indiana book is going to be as interesting as those rocks! 3y

Graywacke @stretchkev not so sure. I‘m curious what can be dug up in all those Paleozoic Indiana rx. (edited) 3y

Roadside Geology of Texas | Darwin Spearing

Been traveling enough around Texas that I‘ve actually scanned through a whole lot of this book. I admit I‘ve been continually surprised how interesting the state geology is. Anyway, I think it‘s time to actually read it cover to cover. The picture is from Palo Duro Canyon, where my family spent last weekend.

Ncostell Beautiful picture! 3y

Currey I remember the first time I “fell” into the Canyon. Miles miles and miles of nothing but flat and then suddenly the road falls out from under you 3y

Graywacke @Currey I‘m still under its spell. It really comes out of nowhere, so true. 3y

Graywacke @Ncostell thanks! Beautiful place. 3y

batsy Though not quite the place she was writing about, this photo is very Cather-esque. Stunning. 3y

Graywacke @batsy interesting thought. Seems she could capture any landscape. Would love her take on the endless high flat plains suddenly collapsing in an instant. (edited) 3y
