Testing

It took me about six months to think of the right name for this blog, but finally it came through.  For those that don't know, caliche is the natural lime substance that is found throughout the western United States.

Dictionary.com has this listing for caliche:

ca·li·che  [kuh-lee-chee]

noun Geology .

1.  a surface deposit consisting of sand or clay impregnated with crystalline salts such as sodium nitrate or sodium chloride.

2.  a zone of calcium carbonate or other carbonates in soils of semiarid regions.

 

In the hill country of Texas, it is very common for the unpaved roads to be ground up caliche.  

 

This blog is about my journey from city life in Sillicon Valley to country life smack dab in the middle of Texas hill country.   

 

More to come.
