That cave property is right near where I first started caving. My first cave (except maybe show caves as a child) was Leonard Spring Cave. Leonard Spring Road is near Eller Cave, and Buckner Cave, which has been donated to the NSS by Richard Blenz and is now on the Richard Blenz Nature Preserve owned by the NSS but managed by the Richard Blenz Nature Conservancy, is nearby, too. Buckner is the most significant cave in the area--www.bucknercave.org. Buckner was severely trashed with graffiti due to a near-total lack of any access control for many years, despite the fact that Dick Blenz lived on the property, but it has been cleaned up to a large extent. There are a number of other smaller caves in the vicinity, some of which I helped dig open back in the day. Don't recall whether I was ever in Eller Cave or not.
Note that building on the property that is for sale is not allowed--evidently some sort of conservation easement. On the other hand, it is only ~$2k per acre. That price might get you an acre of the bottom of Lake Travis around here. -- Mixon ---------------------------------------- Nature is a hanging judge. ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message (unless it's a TexasCavers list post) came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: a...@mexicancaves.org or sa...@mexicancaves.org _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
