When you look at a creek bank and see all that white rock that is under the ground doesn't it seem strange to see something so white under all that dirt? And why don't we have the big river boulders like we see on vacation in Colorado? And what's that sea shell doing here? And I know we call this region the Blackland Prairie, but this soil just seems to be so very black, why? The geology of North Central Texas has a very interesting story to tell of our past and what happened here before. It is this past that greatly influences what we presently do in our soils to grow grass and flowers in our home landscapes. And if you look closely you may be able to see what lived here long before we ever arrived on the scene. We will meet in the south parking lot of Moroney Drive south of Renner Road, 3404 Moroney Drive, on the west side of Breckinridge Park, August 29th at 8:30a.m. Insect repellent and supportive hiking shoes will be beneficial as well as drinking water.
