where does the time go....I can't seem to keep up any more.

Just attended the 50 th Anniversary of the Discovery of Natural Bridge Caverns, between San Antonio and New Braunfels, TX. This event had 500+ attendees, the filling and burying of a time capsule, and hearing the story of the discovery by the three remaining cavers: Joe Cantu, Preston Knodell, and Orion Knox. The fourth member of the discovery team, Al Brandt, passed away in 1998. Then there were tours of the discovery portion of the caverns, refreshments, and country western band for entertainment.

Hanging this show was very exciting. First we get there and discover we are on the basement level but need to hang on the street level. Luckily the management has a manlift for us to use going up and down between the windows opening on the street and where we were. I have included a few photos of the process involved.
