Sadly, Southwest Texas State University (now minus the 'Southwest' in the name) bought Aquarena springs and sent poor Ralph the Swimming Pig to the pork store a few years ago. They are using the lad for development for the unviersity.
A roadside trap that I actually worked at was Natural Bridge Caverns. I still remember the speech:
"OK, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome you all once again to Natural Bridge Caverns. My name is lifesaver and I'll be your guide for the next hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Now before we head into the cavern system, we'll be stopping here in the sinkhole area briefly to discuss the history of the caverns, go over a few rules for the tour and answer any preliminary questions. This area that were standing in now is called the sinkhole. It was at one time the uppermost room in the cavern system, but due to natural weathering, the ceiling collapsed leaving only the 65 foot limestone bridge you see behind me....."
Dumbest question I ever got: "how long did it take you all to build all these stalagmites up in here?"
