Marble Falls named for this granite (marble) mountain and quarry on the edge of town.

We left Marble Falls pretty early, opting to not eat the complimentary continental and almost gone breakfast.
A sonic toaster sandwich did us instead.
This was a pretty uneventful day and certainly couldn’t compare to day-3 and the E-rock climb and shortcut series.
Still we had fun.
One high point was a cache at Dead Man’s Hole.
It is located south of Marble Falls and is a deep, well-like hole probably caused by gas pressure. It was discovered in 1821 by entomologist

Linda points the way to "dead man's hole"

Ferdinand Lueders while he was in the area to study night-flying insects.
The cave achieved notoriety during the Civil War as a dumping place for the bodies of Union sympathizers.
The remains of several bodies were recovered from the cave in the late 1860s, but the presence of gas prevented extensive exploration. The gas evidently dissipated over time, for in 1951 a group of spelunkers from the University of Texas successfully descended the hole.
They reported that Dead Man’s Hole was seven feet in diameter at the surface and about 160 feet deep; at its base, the hole split into two “arms,” one extending straight back for about fifteen feet, and the other sloping downward at a 45° angle for about thirty feet.

Crownover Chapel-you won't believe what we found inside.

Another notable place that a cache brought us was a little church outside of town known as Crownover Chapel.
We were able to go into it and there on the floor looked like some kind of ritual had taken place.
The notes we read in the church visitor book was more disturbing including some teenager writing about not being understood, being thrown away and not worth living.
We feel very sorry and pray for this unknown person.

A ritual in this chapel?

Someone else wrote they had visited the church and swear they saw dead people in the nearby graveyard.
Yep, this is why we love caching.

This sculpture was outside of Johnson City. There is a sculpters compound down the road and a cache close to the bull.

Let's play "do you see the cache?"

Beautiful hillside! Say, "Hi" Linda!

I had to walk way uup here for a cache. Of course, I conquered the E-rock! This was nothing.

There's that cache. Under that log.

This dry creek bed was almost too much to bear.

We found a cache on this old tractor. The whole place was like a antique tractor graveyard.

Look at the radiator on this one. Looks like Air Conditioning cooling coils.

I'm not sure but I think this one ran on steam.
