CANYON LAKE, Texas - Geologic time has a different meaning when it comes to Canyon Lake Gorge. You could say it dates to around the end of the Enron era.
A torrent of water from an overflowing lake sliced open the earth in 2002, exposing rock formations, fossils and even dinosaur footprints in just three days. Since then, the canyon has been accessible only to researchers to protect it from vandals, but on Saturday it opens to its first public tour
Despite the obvious people will continue to build in floodplains because the government underwrites insurance provided to those who live there. After all, politicians aren't going to say no to a program that could upset a potential voter even though doing so would represent good governance.
