Customer Reviews

So Informative!

I loved the geographical background, the explanation of how/ehy some part of DFW is sandy, other's rocky. It was very well written-not too scientific for the general reader. I also liked all the pictures. That one of the bobcat just strolling along the top of suburban fences-very good for pet owners to see! And I am super excited to visit all the places she writes about. I've lived in DFW for 40 years and didn't know about some of them. The details are very helpful-where it is, where to park, etc.
