InnerSpace Caverns (Georgetown, TX) – August 2010

 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 think this was my fourth visit to InnerSpace Caverns, and no, nothing had changed.  >grin<  This was a living cave, so the formations were still in the process of growing, so you couldn’t touch them.  The oils secreted by the human hand would eventually stop that from happening if enough people touched it.  Thus, better off not to have anyone touch it to extend the life of the formations.

 The cave system was last open to the outside some 10,000 years ago when a few Ice Age animals happened to fall in.  After that it, probably due to tectonic activity, the opening was closed up.  As there were no entrances to the outside, the native population nor the European settlers had any clue of its existence.  The story of how this was discovered by chance in the 1960’s was great to hear, and I recommend going to the caves to immerse yourself in the experience.
