The Wrap

A flood once uncovered a surprise in Boerne: a trail of fossilized dinosaur footprints stretching 80 feet. After a torrential downpour on June 22, 1997, water scoured the channel below the Boerne Lake dam down to bedrock, and city officials were astounded by what showed up. They kept it quiet for three weeks. Dino tracks in the Hill Country? Stomp stomp.
