Road Trip-Paluxy River, Glen Rose, Texas the end


Last day for the Paluxy River pics. I posted a few more over on my second page.

Brian also has been posting pictures from the town square of Glen Rose and the Paluxy River. Be sure to check out his pictures of the County Courthouse and square. We both took the road trip. When we got to the Paluxy River, he went one direction and I went the other. Did I mention it was HOT!

No he is not. The river bed is only about 6 inches deep where this guy it at.

Tomorrow, for better or worse, we jump back into the 21st century for Sky Watch Friday.

Dinosaur tracks, Glen Rose, Tx

These are the dinosaur tracks I have been teasing all week. They are actually theropoda tracks. The easiest way to describe what they looked like its they were small versions of the T-Rex. The river bed is full of tracks, but they don't make great pictures. Dinosaur Vally State Park is about 100 miles from Terrell.








Yes, these are real. They are now part of the limestone rock.

Road Trip-Paluxy River, Glen Rose, Texas III

Tomorrow Dinosaur tracks, I promise. This is another shot of the river. The yellow tape on the right marks off one of the areas with the tracks. You will need to enlarge the picture to make out the where the tape is at.

Road Trip-Paluxy River, Glen Rose, Texas II

Another photo from the road trip that Brian and I took to Dinosaur Valley State Park. This is looking the other direction on the Paluxy river. There was really no current, so I don't know whats up river or down river. If I had to guess this would be up river. The limestone formations are something I have never seen before, just brilliant looking. I loved climbing around on the rocks and seeing the dinosaur tracks. More to come.


I have added a new link to the sidebar. Terrell Soup by Laurie. Be sure to check out her site and offer encouraging words. Any other Terrell related blogs out there? Let me know, I may add them to the blog roll.

Road Trip-Paluxy River, Glen Rose, Texas


Yesterdays road trip was to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas. Glen Rose is famous for the Dinosaur tracks in the Paluxy river bed. By the looks of the crowd its also famous for the swimming. I will show the tracks later in the week.
