We hiked up this trail that just about killed Grampa Bob 14 and me but found this at the top! An old watch tower for indians a long time ago! | We were at another earthcache where we were suspended above a small vally about 6 stories up. They say it floods about 5 stories up at times! | |

Bob at the tower | Three earthcaches near each other - all caves in a park area | They are gated now to let bats out and keep people from going in |

Cool waterfall. This used to be the pit wher the rock was mined for the cement. | Now it is a cool garden spot with people jogging and just hanging out. | |

This was a refriderator back in the old days. A metal dome that had water pumped over the skin all the time. | The minerals slowly collected and made an incredible structure | We had to attend a national geocaching event held in San Antonio - GeoCoin Fest 2022! |

This is just above the part everyone knows...they can control how much water is in the river downtown | On the tourist part of the river walk - full of little waterfalls like this. | |
