Big Bend Country is also known as the Trans-Pecos. It covers the extreme western part of the state east to the Pecos River. The different soils and elevations in this region support diverse habitats and vegetation, from desert valleys and plateaus to wooded mountain slopes. Mountain outwash materials formed the soils of the Trans-Pecos. Surface textures vary.

May 21- July 31 We started upstream on the Missouri River from the St Louis area camp. We had been preparing for the expedition since fall of last year. Me and nearly four dozen other men met up with Meriwether Lewis. We started making our way up the Missouri on a fiftyfive foot long keelboat and two smaller pirogues. As we traveled, I spent most of his time on the boat, charting the course of our journey and mapping it out the river and such, while Meriwether was often ashore studying the landforms, animals, and plants.

Pre-Dorset, which is found in the Low Arctic islands and mainland. The Pre-Dorset component is by far the most widespread. Although most of the well-defined Pre-Dorset sites are located on the Hudson Bay coast, some inland resources may also have been exploited on a seasonal basis. After 1500 B.C., the climate began to cool, and vegetative patterns and animal habitat shifted south in response to this change. As the Native people of the Subarctic Shield Archaic followed suit, Pre-Dorset peoples occupied the abandon interior land.

Blackrock Summit Steve 12/3/10 Last summer I spent three separate weekends hiking in Shenandoah National Park with friends. I camped in Loft Mountain close to the southern end of the park, and at the lodges in the Big Meadows settlement. Entering the park on the northern end I drove along the Skyline Drive for a few hours until I reached the Loft Mountain campgrounds. Each night we tried find a good place to watch the sunset and have a few beverages. Our favorite place to experience this ritual was at the top of the Blackrock Summit trail.
