Longhorn Cavern

Fifth Grade Field Trip 2010
Little bit of history: This cave was carved out by an underground river many, many, many, many, many years ago. That is somewhat unique, according the the guide. Most caves are formed from the eating away of rock by water. It was used as a Native American meeting place, an outlaw hideout, and a speakeasy before it was cleaned out by CCC workers after the Great Depression.

The entrance...tips accepted at the end of the tour...whaaat? Did you notice that this is a group of students?


My favorite picture. Some of the areas were huge and looked really cool with the lighting.


The tour group...Paul down in front with the brown jacket on.


Frog formation...That's for Mom and Dad :)


Crystals. What's a cave without crystals?

It was a pretty neat place. There was even a bat resting on the ceiling in one room. They rent out some of the space for concerts, weddings, etc.

Don't forget to tip your tour guide. They only make minimum wage, you know. (sheesh!)
