I have a GREAT story about my college roommate sliding down and falling from the edge on Mt Bonnell. I see they've added walls now (this was 1974) and we (about 5 friends) were sitting enjoying the view through a break in the trees just to the south of the top of the stairs, and he creeped JUST far enough forward that he started sliding to the edge. No trees so he couldn't stop. A couple of our friends were saying "oh he's dead" rather non-chalantly while I was clawing to the edge on the scrub available to get to the edge without falling myself. When I for close enough to see over I could see there was a ledge not terribly far beneath with another slope where he'd tumbled some but was standing and cursing, having rolled into a bunch of beer cans bunched up against scrub lower down. MAN that was a breathless moment! On Mt Bonnell Dr there USED to be a small, ramshackle dive bar, VERY isolated, on the way up from the north. It had a balcony on the back with a good sunset view, and chickens running around underneath. Man... those were the days. Research Dr was a two lane road north of town back then. I'm going to look to see if you cover Austin's Own Little Hawaii, Barton Springs.
We greatly appreciate your kind feedback, in addition to your great username! Texas has some incredible geology, stay tuned for future videos covering geology in Texas and the rest of the planet!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, glad to hear that the information was digestible! We look forward to further providing informative geology videos for humans young and old!
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful feedback! Our goal is to bridge the gap between the realm of complicated geologic information and the public, glad we could illuminate Austin's history a bit more! Stay tuned for more limestone, and dirt, and cool sparkly minerals and such!
Words cannot express our gratitude for such kind words, thank you so much - it's always fun learning and talking about Earth's geologic history, keep an eye out for future videos!
@@geobridge7556 I especially love seeing water trickle through gaps in the limestone after a good rain at the northwest corner of courtyard & 360 just north of the bridge. There is a sense of great natural beauty when I see this. Perhaps yall would consider doing a video on this. 🐃🪨
Great Video! I am going to show this to my structural engineering firm. On Friday for a little happy hour and then we are going to watch this video. Great job!! If y’all are still in town…should come by and visit us at Copeland Engineering, UT ‘95!! Hook ‘Em!
Huzzah to our fellow geologists! Thank you so much for the kind words, we hope to continue making more digestible and entertaining geologic content so stay tuned!
Sorry, but your information is based on the theory of evolution, which you erroneously speak of it as "fact" when most of it is estimated.. Since you don't know, you added millions of years, to try and make it believable. Many scientists disagree, so, please, stop misrepresenting evolution as fact.
It’s just what the evidence suggests. I don’t know why god would create so much evidence to suggest an older earth. I personally believe that an old earth is not a barrier to belief. The billions of years for the evolution of the universe is a flash in a pan for an eternal god. God’s glory is amazing. We can’t understand it, and in my opinion, you need to be comfortable with not knowing. You can get closer to understanding by for instance, getting a phd in geology. Then come back and complain after that if you still feel the same way.
