One way to cool off on a hot June day is to go into a cave! Longhorn Cavern was more than just cool - it was a fascinating tour. Lots of cool formations and a very interesting history. For instance, it got its name because Longhorn cattle kept falling into it. And in the 20's, there was a dance club inside the cave - they showed us the stage and bar area and how they lowered down food from the kitchen above. It's a deep cave that goes under the Colorado River. And there's an underground lake in the cave. Such a neat place.
We also enjoyed looking around at the old CCC buildings while we were there. Longhorn Caverns is a wonderful state park.
