Cave Without a Name (Boerne, TX) – May 2009

 Yeah, the same opening paragraph you’ve read before.  Some of these pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link below).  Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just about all the pictures.  Some blurry or bad shots were removed, as well as some with others who would appreciate not having their pictures posted again.  Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the original visit.

 Of the two cave systems in the area that I’d visited the same day, this was the second.  And second-best too.  As far as I’m concerned, all cave systems are cool, and worth visiting.  This one had less natural areas than the other, and more annoying people on my tour group (which always hampers my enjoyment of a place).  There was a bit more humidity in here, which resulted in more “camera spots” on the pictures.  That just happens sometimes when going into these caves.  Other than that, the original blog entry was pretty complete for this.

Cascade Caverns (Boerne, TX) – May 2009

 Yeah, the same opening paragraph you’ve read before.  Some of these pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link below).  Now instead of a select few, I’m sharing just about all the pictures.  Some blurry or bad shots were removed, as well as some with others who would appreciate not having their pictures posted again.  Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the original visit.

 I’ve always liked caves, but there were few where I grew up to explore.  And most of those were essentially abandoned mines anyways.  But in central Texas, where two fault lines meet, the area is filled with naturally-forming cave systems.  Most are still “living” caves, which means the interiors are wet as the rock formations are still slowly growing.  The original blog entry I wrote about this visit was pretty complete (sans all pictures), so there was no real need to go over the story again.  Having a guided tour of a place where I was the only person in the “group” was fabulous, because you get to do or see things otherwise which normally doesn’t happen (due to the presence of morons).  This was one of those rare occasions for me, thus why this was such an awesome experience.  The caves are great too, and highly recommend you visit there.
