Geocache Description:

The first underwater cache I'm aware of!

This is the 2nd of 3 caches in Lost Maples State Natural Area, a beautiful park in the TX Hill Country. This one is easy to get near but you'll need to bring your swimsuit and goggles as it's under 6 feet of crystal clear spring water in the western most of the 2 ponds near campsite C. It's a liter Nalgene water bottle clipped to a zip strip that is looped through a hole in a piece of native limestone on the bottom of the pond. It's full of several small toys and a log book. Be sure to screw the lid back on real tight so it will stay dry inside.
