In response to Re: Trees and views posted by swest:I moved to this state over two decades ago, from Illinois. Texas’ size translates into more than just volume. The differences from one region to the next are frequently very marked. I live in the Hill Country, with shorter trees (less rainfall and poorer soil) than I grew up with in Illinois farm country. Because of the combination of hills and clay content in the soil, when it rains a lot, there can be violent flooding.
I have never been to the rough and heavily wooded Big Bend area and would like to see it. There is a Piney Woods area to the east, and a lot of desert-like area to the northwest. Texas is a combination of a lot of different environments. If you ever get a chance to visit, be sure to pick which one you are most interested in to visit. Where I am it is 500 miles to El Paso. It took us a day and a half to get here when we entered Texas for the first time.
