Inner Space Cavern

We travelled to Georgetown to the Inner Space Cavern for Greerson's tenth birthday. It was really kind of cool (70 degrees). The cave was discovered in the 1960s when they were building a bridge on I-35. They were drilling core samples and kept losing bits, so they made a wider hole and dropped a man down into some old bat guana. They had to create a man made opening to the cave since it had closed over several years before. We rode a train down to the entrance and walked through the cave. It was a lot of fun. They even had a concrete retaining wall in the middle of the cave that had cave paintings on it (similar to the paintings in France). It was a very worthwhile trip, especially since Greerson got a mood ring! We had promised him that he could go to the cave since he missed the school field trip to the cave last year, because he was sick.


Who needs France, Texas has cave paintings too!!!!

Greerson and Tyler stand in awe as a bat flies around our heads
