Hiya. I just moved here three years ago and missed out on some interesting stuff it seems. With all of the highway construction going on now (but in a big hurry) I wonder what is being destroyed.
I think the controversial Kennewick Man who was discovered in Washington state is estimated to be 9,000 years old, and is unlike the native Americans of the area.
I didn't know we had dino tracks around here. I've been to the river from 183, but did not look for them. I think it is just a series of mud puddles now - might be a good time to check it out. I have seen the dino tracks at Glen Rose.

I have seen the dino tracks at Glen Rose.

I've seen them here in Austin. :)

txflake is another Lake Travis FReeper who is interested in artifacts. I remember the news about the Leanderthal Woman during the road construction. They also found a number of Indian and other prehistoric rock tools at the site.

I've been looking for artifacts since the lake is down, but not much success lately. A few broken points here and there and an occasional tomahawk or other tool.

Another guy who hunts artifacts is also in the construction business and he told me that the area just east of Palmer Lane at 620 has a creek bed that is littered with artifacts. Much has already been covered with tons of fill for IH 45 N.
