September 15, 2010. Program:
A representative from the Canyon Lake Gorge
Preservation Society will give us a presentation
about this rare “instant” formation. In 2002,
heavy rains caused severe flooding and extensive
damage in this area of the Hill Country. A
torrent of water from a bloated Canyon Lake
sliced open the earth, exposing rock formations,
fossils and even dinosaur footprints. In only
three days the raging water uncovered what would
normally take nature millions of years to
unearth. To protect the newly formed gorge from
vandals, it was open only to researchers until
2007 when the Guadalupe Blanco River Authority
opened it for tours. During the five years it
was closed to the public, preservationists,
geology professors, and anthropologists
preserved and cataloged their findings.
