Hasn't voted | Thanks for the comment. No, I rather think the smooth polish was given by the water, glaciers would have left streaks. This is limestone, and therefore partly soluble in CO2-containing water - a process that removes CO2 from the air! | | Posted Jun 19, 2009 6:05 am |

Hasn't voted | Thanks. We never really saw the Texas Hill Country, we only drove through on our way west, but I have heard people talking about it. | | Posted Jun 23, 2009 5:35 am |
