Thanks for the pictures.Â* I was thinking, what is silt to Houston was
probably farmland to someone upstream.Â* That's a lot of dirt!


Absolutely, farm land. Houston is mostly gumbo/clay but Katy TX north
of I10 tends to have sandy soil. That is the beginning area for Buffalo
bayou.


Appreciate your posting of the pictures, like the inside story shots.

I hope they can use that excess soil to their advantage give all the
dump trucks I saw moving the stuff.

Sure looks to me like you have some really nice bike ride areas, minus
the heat.


Well hopefully the soil will go to good use. BUT the environmentalists
are warning about contamination of soils.

Yeah, we have probably a hundred miles of sidewalks other than those in
front of homes and businesses and along streets.
