On the way to work a few weeks back, I was stuck for 2.5 hours in between 2 exits on I-10 so I got to watch the sunrise. 2 semi's got in an accident with at least one laying on its side and on fire. Total commute ~3:50 (left home at 4:50 and got to work ~8:40)
summer sunrise
Second cave of Natural Caverns near San Antonio.
There are 2 caves open to the public for tour. One had an exposed opening and had a bat colony. The second was discovered because the family that owned the property performed exploratory drilling in the late 60s. On one of the test holes, they hit a void. The drilled the hole bigger (exploratory drillings were 6") up to 22" where they then used a winch to lower folks down the hole to see what was there. Because the cavern had been essentially "sealed shut" there were/are "soda straw" stalactites up to 6' long. The grandsons loved it.
