Stop 7 - Rogers Spring

Prev Stop Next Stop
The desert floor along the road to Rogers Spring (Rt. 167), is covered with calcified soil, known as caliche. This is similar to the rocky soil in the Holy Lands that Jesus talked about in his parable on soil classification in Luke 8:6. [No, really he was talking about hearts being open to the gospel! Look it up for yourself.]
Rogers Spring is a pool of water that collects groundwater circulated to the surface along the Rogers Spring Fault. It provides a habitat for rare pup-fish. But, don't dive in! The water also contains a deadly protozoan that infects humans!
