Exploring more of Wade Trash Cave with Michael Mixerr.

Michael Mixerr of Mixerr Reviews discovered Wade Trash Cave at Goat Cave Karst Preserve in Austin, Texas while during a caving outing once. Wade Trash Cave is one of the many forgotten caves of Austin/Travis County being that Wade Trash Cave is one of the lesser known caves. Not much is known about the history of Wade Trash Cave.

Wade Trash Cave is easy to enter to due to the steep drop inside the cave with those granite steps. Bringing groups will be easy to due to a steep drop outside the cave. Going in small groups is recommended when touring Wade Trash Cave.

At the entrance of Wade Trash Cave, mosquitos among other insects can be found swarming around that area.

“Upon entering Wade Trash Cave, I felt a sense of moisture the first 20 seconds I was down there. You can feel a sense of moisture down in that particular cave. The moist environment is a subtle breeding ground for mosquitos. I had noticed mosquitos had been swarming over me while I was 20 feet-30 feet into Wade Trash Cave.” said Michael Mixerr. 



Michael Mixerr also discovered Wade Trash Cave connects to Goat Cave and Maple Run Cave inside Goat Cave Karst Preserve Park. Wade Trash Cave has been used as storage for trash in the past. This cave has also been used as a supplementary feed for goats. That is why there are a few remnants of trash that can be discovered if you dig deep enough.

Now the rock formation of this cave is native limestone. Many caves in Central Texas have a rock formation of native limestone. Raw iron ore can be found outside rims of this cave.
