Mineral Wells / Weatherford

I took the kids on a fossil hunt yesterday. It was a two hour drive west to Mineral Wells. We had a blast. The fossils are abundant! I did my research and discovered that hunting is best after a good rain, and they had lots of rain Friday and Saturday.
So we came home with brachipods, crinoids and about 20 pounds of mud. The area was beautiful and very secluded. I got some cool shots that I will load later of the area. I also took some photos of the fossils.

What was a suprise to me was the town of Weatherford! I didn't know it was so adorable. It had a great farmers market, old buildings and adorable town square. Our next trip out will include a few nights in a tent and I am sure a visit to the market!

  1. I am guessing you are talking about Weatherford, OK? Just a guess, but if so it is a great town. I have been there several times.
