San Marcos trip part 2- Natural Bridge Caverns

Saturday afternoon we went to Gruene for lunch and a quick look at the flooding on the Guadelupe river before heading to the Natural Bridge Caverns.
The caverns were incredible!! We went 180 feet below the surface to explore the rooms in the cavern and learn about how they were created. (FYI cave= one room, cavern= series of rooms) Caroline took the no touching rule VERY seriously and was our chief safety officer as we took the 75 minute tour.
Before we went into the caves, we came upon this insect. A live locust. I have only ever seen the shell from a locust, never a live one. He is one creepy looking insect!
