Where it was exposed was usually in the lower areas and the wetter area, you see it a lot in the rural 'ditches'. I did not know that red dirt was that far north to be in the midwest. I always thought it was a Southern soil feature, like weeping willows, dogwoods, and moss covered cyprus trees would be a Southern forest feature ......bobford
