SAN ANTONIO, Texas – A group of boys in a north-side subdivision found what some experts say could be the fifth largest cave in Bexar County.
And it started with a hole they discovered while exploring The Ridge at Lookout Canyon.
“We got bored,” said 11-year-old Ethan.
So, they did what boys do: They poked at it.
“I just stuck my hand in. It was kind of humid, so I took a picture,” Ethan said.
“We stuck our phones in it and found stuff inside it. It was really cool,” his friend Brendon added.
The pictures they took with the cell phone started a spelunking adventure and expeditions launched by their fathers, who wants to remain anonymous.
“There’s no telling what’s down there,” said one dad. “We just wanted to make sure if they were going down there, nothing was going to happen.”
Through pictures, the cave appears extensive, with stalagmites and stalactites and features that rival some more famous caves in the area.
