Trego County rock formations

Limestone rock formations may be found all along the Smoky Hill River in Kansas. They are so plentiful that many, like this one in Trego County, remain unnamed. This one is near our bed and breakfast.

Hubby is examining the rocks. The shovel is protection against snakes. Donna said she hadn’t seen snakes, but if any were present, they’d be in these rocks.

Trees and flowers grew in this very unpromising terrain. Don’t get too near the edge; these rocks are anything but solid.

I’ve often heard that the blue stratum contains fossils such as this one, but I’d never seen one before this one. We left this one intact, but took home another that had fallen on the ground. I just love little surprises like that, like a little present from God.
