    Longhorn Cavern Cave Degree

    Yea, it's not the biggest or "prettiest" cave, but that is because of the way it was made. It is different than most other caves because it was formed by an underground river. The river eroded away everything and that is how it was made. Most other caves are formed by seepage and the rock...

    Longhorn Cavern Cave Degree

    It has always been ran privately. When the Crownover family (I'm bout 90% sure that is the family) sold the property, it was part of the deal that they wanted to make sure that a private company operates the cave and not the State itself. If I remember correctly, all this took place during...

    The Hiram Key

    I don't know if I would like to have read it before I became a Mason. They seemed to have given a lot a way. Before I was initiated and before I was raised, I liked to read some things about the Fraternity, but I didn't want to get too deep into anything because I started seeing stuff out...

    Longhorn Cavern Cave Degree

    Yea, I am glad that they got back to doing stuff like that down there. I think that they stopped doing a lot of that kind of stuff because back in the 20's and 30's they would have church and even have a "speak easy". The people didn't understand the destruction of the cave that they were...

    Conferred My First Ever Degree

    Congrats and job well done! I just love being at a degree and taking part in one, so I can't wait till I am able to actually confer one.

    MM now where??? and how???

    Look into going to the Scottish Rite or York Rite. Someone from your lodge should be able to point you in the right direction as to where to look or who to talk to about petitioning either of those organizations.

    Longhorn Cavern Cave Degree

    Ah, well we will get ya down here at some point or another...lol I don't know for sure which room they are going to have the degree in. Haven't thought to ask, but I will Wed night when I'm up at practice. I'm sure that it will be in the Indian Council Room or whatever it is called. Or right...

    The Hiram Key

    Yea, I read that book a couple years ago. Really is a good read and kept my attention. I have also heard the stuff about some of the details not being verifiable, and I do agree that the Christian stuff was for sure thought provoking.

    Longhorn Cavern Cave Degree

    I was hoping that this was going to get posted in here. Glad to see someone is on top of it :) Should be a pretty interesting deal. I live literally three miles from the cave. Sucks I had to miss the cave degree in the past cause of a deployment...lol This should be pretty awesome to see...

    Well, finally was in the right place at the right time and turned in my petition for the York Rite. Pretty excited about this. I guess we are going to be doing the Chapter and Council degrees in Burnet on the 22nd of this month, and then on the 29th in Boerne we will be doing the Commandery...
