The Longhorn Cavern is a river-formed cavern. Located in Burnet County, this wonder was created over thousands of years by the dissolving and cutting action of water on the limestone bedrock.
We took a guided tour at USD 12.99 per person and the tour lasted for about 1.5 hours. The cave generally stays at 68 degree Fahrenheit year long but it does feel quite chilly for some part of the cave. So, do bring a sweater just in case.
Cute little bat - it should be the Eastern Pipistrelle bat. They are loners and do not hang out together. If i listened to the tour guide correctly, the little one shown in the picture is already a grown up.

What was Ching Leong looking at? :p
That's actually the "Queen's Watch Dog". Some have said this piece of rock was carved out by people many years ago. Geologists from Texas A&M were brought in to examine it for tool marks to prove whether or not humans had done this. They have never been able to find tool marks on it. The most likely explanation is that it was carved by high-flow rushing water. Noticed the center of the rock which was joint together. We were told that a visitor broke the piece and was required to pay a hefty fine for the repair of that piece.
