I don't know why they are being coy with the location, it's easy to find and even marked if you know what to look for. If you've ever driven south of 410 on Nacogdoches Rd, you've been right by the entrance. It's between 410 and the Oak Park HEB where the appropriately named Cave Lane ends on Nacogdoches. It's a small lot, right near the street and behind a wrought iron fence.
I remember stories growing up that the cave connected to the Alamo, but we never got access to the place as kids. Thank God as we would have gotten ourselves into a ton of trouble no doubt.
It's location immediately adjacent to the old Camino Real would surely make it a prominent and distinctive landmark on the route to east Texas during the early days of San Antonio.
