Caves are so interesting and there is so much to learn about them . Longhorn Cavern offer 3 different tour options. The cavern walking tour is just like a casual walking tour. The black light tour is where you wear hard hats and walk with a light. The Wild Cave tour is for the extreme explorers who are okay with tight spaces . I chose the cavern walking tour. I highly recommend shoes that have a tight grip. The gift shop has really good options for keepsakes. Also, if you get thirst drinks are available to purchase. I saw a section for pizza, but it was sold out. I had amazing time during my visit. The cave is beautiful and there is so much to see.

I was glad to see a historical sign posted out front, which tells you more than I can say. It's a small cemetery about 50 foot in square with just over a dozen gravesites. It has been reasonably cared for and there are no toppled headstones. It is no longer an active cemetery, just a historical one.

Geological history. I dig it. This is a rather unique marker. It's not the usual painted steel,…read moreit's literally carved out of the stuff that they're marking: Pink granite. The marker reads, "1979. This 866 foot dome of solid pink granite covering 180 acres contains the largest quarry of its king in the United States. This mountain, like all granite formations, was once melted rock similar to lava. As the molten rock cooled thousands of feet below the Earth surface, it hardened into large crystals of quartz, feldspar and several dark colored minerals." "Whenever strength, durability and beauty of finish is required, granite is a favored building stone." "The mountain was part of a grant made to Texas colonist William Slaughter. The site became famous commercially when a dispute arose in the 1880s of a type of stone to be used in the Capitol in Austin [50 miles southeast]. The issue was settled in 1885 when Governor John Ireland resisted demands to use non-native limestone." "Following this decision, a special track was built to haul the granite to the rail line in Burnet. The stone was generously donated to the State by quarry owners G.W. Lacy, N.L. Norton and W.H. Westfall." "Today, granite from this quarry here is shipped to all parts of Teas, the U.S. and foreign countries for use in monuments, shafts, jetties and buildings. It has been used in the Galveston sea wall and in new state buildings near the Capitol in Austin." [Review 17400 overall - 415 in Texas - 918 of 2022.]

To be honest, I spotted this particular cemetery on Google maps and noticed that nobody had added…read moreany information. It's just on the outskirts of Marble Falls on FM 1431. This appears to be an active graveyard with lots of room to spare and a building on the property most likely used for services. The entire property is encircled in an 8 foot high perimeter fence. Normally cemeteries are accessible by the public, but oddly this one has a security fence requiring a security code to get in. I was also surprised there was no information or phone number available at the front gate to inquire of concerning entry.

Even though we had chilly weather and a little rain, it didn't stop us one bit. We ended up picking close to seven pounds of fresh strawberries and they were so tasty and juicy. The whole experience of walking row by row and picking the perfect berry was so much fun. There's even a helpful little sign explaining how to pick the strawberries properly so they last longer. *Pro tip, leave a bit of the stem on the strawberry as you pick them, they stay fresh longer. We learned that after the fact, but we'll definitely do it right next time. The farm is huge, around 152 acres of expansive land, which was very green, open, and peaceful. It wasn't crowded at all the day we went, which made it even more enjoyable. The kids had a blast. They have a cute little train ride, a fun bouncing area, and plenty of space for the kiddies to run around. The goats were a big highlight for us. You can buy feed for 25 cents a tiny cup, and we went through four pretty quickly - you might want to grab more upfront because they close at 5 and we didn't get a chance to go back for more goat feed. The setup around the goat area was really nice and whimsical, and there's just so much open space to explore and walk and get fresh air. They also have a small gift shop with ice cream and little goodies, which was a nice touch after being out in the fields. Overall, it was such a peaceful, fun, and memorable day. Beautiful views, great atmosphere, and a perfect mix of activities for both kids and adults. We'll absolutely be back. Easily a five star experience.

We also love the farm's homemade strawberry popsicles and ice cream - absolutely delicious. They also offer pick your own flowers, a bouncy area, a barrel train ride, and various arts and crafts activities for kids. There are also baby goats to feed!
