Does anyone remember the caves on the El Max ranch, Kendall county ? Does anyone remember anything about the El Max limestone ? Way back in the 60s cavers went to caves there. Bill Russell gave a talk, maybe wrote some articles in the Texas Caver at the time about the geology of that area. He suggested using the name El Max limestone for a very cavernous section of the lower Glen Rose limestone that was prominently exposed on the El Max ranch. These would be caves near the Guadalupe river ( I think) same sort of geologic setting as Cave-with out a name, Spring Creek, Alzafar water cave. I remember talking to William about this back in the 70s when we were looking for cave salamanders and Kendall county was one of our favorite places to go. I also sort of remember seeing something in a old TC or TSA convention notes. Looking up the El Max ranch it was 7200 acres and had Guadalupe river frontage. Part of it is now the Cordierra Ranch subdivision.
