in 1967, my dad and i were javelina hunting over easter break about 30 miles n of comstock and had the opportunity to explore a cave known only to the few ranch hands. we drove across a pasture until we came to a dead cedar growing out of a 10 foot deep 8x8 ft hole. after chunking rocks at a snake, we climbed down the tree. the snake rudely returned (of course he really never left) and was dispatched. we then were directed to crawl thru a slot along the floor which was like crawling under a car. on the other side was an almost virgin cavern that went on for hours. we went from room to room and found skeletons, clear crickets, bats, and markings on the ceilings that had been left by indians. the guide told us of a bigger cave on another part of the ranch that had water in it. he assumed the 2 were connected, but couldn't prove it. it was truly one of the coolest things i have ever done. don't pass up the opportunity to do the same. just be careful and be prepared for the many possible issues that might come up. it gets seriously dark down there.

WHich direction is the opening? (North or South) If South the cave will be loaded with snakes come winter time. We found a large Den in San Saba while snake hunting in Early Early spring. After we gassed them they poured out. Over 40 snakes large and small. Be CarefulComment

Where is this? Watch for snakes.
I have these on my place, I call them fissures, the limestone is shifting around and you get vertical cracks in the formations, I have one (see below) that it about 2 feet wide, 15 feet long, and 20+ feet deep. It's on a sloping hill, I think the limestone just shifts around and you get these cracks in the surface, almost no topsoil so they don't fill in with soil. I have many small ones that appear and disappear, mostly 2"-8" wide. San Saba county.
First pic taken at surface looking straight down, first ledge at bottom of photo is about 6 feet down, then the skinny part (about 18" wide) goes another 15 feet or so. I really don't think it's a cave, and I'm not going down to check it out.
Zoomed in with flash, bottom is about 20 feet down, no idea how deep the leaves are...
