| Our final cave before heading home (I won't even go into the evening in Austin trying to find a hotel fiasco) | A very nice cave... parts of all the other caves put together | Large rooms, small walkways, empty passages, rooms full of decorations, pristine ponds. |

| For a show cave, very professionally kept and well maintained. | Found by engineers drilling bore holes for I-35, it stayed hidden for a long time! | The tour (which is about an hour) only touches about 5% of the cave. |

| Lots of growing active formations here too! | And passages that look like they go go go!!! | Lots of colors from white to the rusts as different minerals make up the formations throughout the cave. |

| There was tons of water dripping in the Discovery room | You could even get cave wet from these drips as they were right by the trail! | This is a cave for the family traveling down I-35 to see.... nice and easy walking, good tour guides, good trail, and nice formations. |

| The original hole where the highway worker was lowered into to be the first human in the cave. | Other bore holes are evident all over the ceiling | This formation was the first seen by that highway worker who mistakened it for a cave monster! |
