The Caverns

Two weeks ago we took Uncle Chris to Natural Bridge Caverns near our house. We've been before, but they are worth a second trip. Most of the photos are courtesy of Chris.



The caves are "living" so they are very wet with dripping calcium carbonate ever so slowly making the formations. The temperature is in the mid 70s with 100% humidity. Like most of the caves in this part of Texas, they were discovered fairly recently- in the 1960s by a group of students from St. Mary's.
