#131: Texas Show Caves
31 minutes
Download MP3 audioWe’ve spent a lot of time on this show talking about the landscape of Texas: literal, cultural, and historical. But one thing we haven’t explored very much is what’s under the landscape: caves. The Central Texas limestone that has supplied building materials for so many Texan landmarks is also home to several high-quality and fascinating caverns that you can go visit today.
Before we begin… In the spirit of spring, what’s your favorite memory from a Texas ballpark?
