Petrified Wood in the San Jacinto River, Conroe, Texas

[txredneckcop]

Thanks for the video. Brings back great memories from growing up in Conroe and exploring the banks of the river with friends. Living in San Antonio now, I miss hearing the sounds of the bugs and birds chirping away!

@txredneckcop You're welcome. The San Antonio area is great. Lot's of interesting places to hike, camp and explore. Ken

now that it has rained in your area, it's probably safe to build a campfire. all you need is some petrified hotdogs and s'mores, and you are set! ☮ fsb

@floydstinkyboy Yep, the fire ban was lifted yesterday. Last night, we had a big campfire at Kelly Pond (which is still dry) in the Sam Houston National Forest.

Thanks for the vid, Ken. I'll have to put this site on my list to hunt. ;D

@vickyoftexas I know you will enjoy it. The best time is a couple days after a big rain...that stirs up the rocks. Ken

@gettingahandle It's easy to get to the spot where this video was filmed. Take the "river access road" exit from I45, just before the 1488 exit.

In the middle of the picture at frame 1:38 The black rock looks like a tektite. There is 140 mile long an 5 mile wide debris field near austin. the impact was chesapeak bay.
