Near Dora Roberts Ranch, Howard County, Texas



Pictures taken near Dora Roberts Ranch in Howard County, Texas

On a tip from Mr. Burr Williams, the Secondhand Lions spent the day in Howard County hunting for "round rocks," aka hemitite concretions, in 100 degree weather. Real rock hounds.

See Donna's blog for a picture of some of the iron pearls found.

Snake! (Or "Nake!" as my neice says)


Western Diamondback Rattler, about 4 feet long and 3 inches wide

A view taken from the non-business end. I was about 8 feet away. (About 1/10th the distance my sister thought I should have been.)
