Matt CarrGUEST
And it wasn't until 1960 that the big part of the cave was discovered.
Matt CarrGUEST
Four cave explorers who were students from St. Mary's University in San Antonio, they got permission from the landowners to make some trips down here under the natural bridge to see if they could find a cave.
Matt CarrGUEST
And on their fourth visit here on March 27, 1960, I guess they zigged where every other explorer had zagged, and they discovered two miles of underground cave system.
Matt CarrGUEST
And so it was a big discovery.
