Day 2 (Sunday) - Mineral Wells


First Stop - Lake Mineral Wells State Park

We took a short hike.





Fort Wolters Military Base

It wasn't exactly the structure we were looking for, but found these abandoned barracks. Waaaaay cool. A few members of our party were concerned that we shouldn't be in there...













Mineral Wells Fossil Park

This was an old borrow pit for a landfill that stopped being used, then after a decade or so of erosion they realized there were a bunch of fossils in it. Once you realized what to look for, there were A LOT of fossils. Best part? You can take home anything that you find.
