Find Fossils and Rocks on A Budget

Do you enjoy the  outdoors, rock climbing, hiking? Why not add fossil hunting and rock hounding/collecting to your list of hobbies? It's easy and can be done almost anywhere. Driving down the road, see a nice road cut. STOP! You will be amazed at the interesting things you can find. Many areas in North Texas reveal fossils such as ammonites, brahiopods and echinods. The North Sulfur River, just north of Ladonia Texas has Mossasaur and fish and turtle fossils, even Mammonth bones have been collected there. Post Oak creek in Sherman Texas is full of sharks teeth. There  are rare tektites in the Brenham area. There is so much to explore and find in this great country.

Do you know of any access to the North Sulphur River for senior citizens? I went down at the bridge on 34 but was to short to get back up the steps. Like to have had a stroke getting back up a hill. Lol. Can you get a four wheeler down there?
Thanks,
