Re: [Texascavers] The Freak Brothers

However the carton is just using the Freak Brothers as a way of 
showing how the world has changes. Only the first ~15 minutes of the 
first episode is set in the comic book era, then they are transported 
to modern day California for the rest of the shows.


It can be watched free online, (tubi for sure)
and here is the trailer to have an idea of how it will play:

I just heard a short interview on NPR about an upcoming TV cartoon 
show “The Freak Brothers”. I recall that there was a close 
connection in the late 1960s between Austin cavers and the artist 
who created the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers head comics, Gilbert 
Shelton.


On my first caving expedition to Silvertip Peak, Montana in 1974 
there was a woman with frizzy hair who came along and it was said 
that the look of the character Fat Freddy was based on her look.

Re: [Texascavers] looking for cave near Langtry

[Karstwalker]

So might this be the cave listed in NSS Bulletin No10 as Fielder 
Canyon Cave?

 See attached description

Hi All,

Hopefully someone can help me locate a small vertical cave north or 
northwest of Langtry. I have known of this cave for decades, but 
because of its history relative to the family, I have put off 
recording the cave (or even visiting it) until now. Most of the family 
is now dead, and with me at the end of life the location and history 
of the cave will be lost soon. I don’t think it is mentioned in the 
Caves of Val Verde County, but it should end up in the county files 
for both caves and archeology for future reference and history.


It is a small vertical pit with supposedly a small opening entrance 
and ample interior space. I have no idea if it has vertical walls or 
bells out. It should be fairly close to the old Walter Babb ranch 
headquarters, which I assume was his small ranchhouse, shed, and 
normal old-style pens. Since I have never been to the cave, I don’t 
know its exact location, but it was rumored to be a vertical pit 
relatively near the house. The cave would be similar to the vertical 
pits of Hitzfelder and Mason’s Indian Cave and nothing like Lead or 
any of the other Langtry area caves.


If anyone has any ideas or general information, you can post them to 
this list. But if you have the exact location, please respond to me 
personally at jgr...@greerservices.com 
 or text me at 307-267-2036. Many 
thanks.


Web info on Walter Babb:
Born 1877, Georgia.
Ranch between Langtry and Pandale.
Babb Ranch 8.24 miles north-northwest of Langtry.
“Both my parents went to the cave they [bank robbers] hid out in on 
the Babb Ranch between Pandale and Langtry”. [I suspect that is some 
large rockshelter down on the river and not the small vertical cave I 
am interested in.]. “Walter Babb took them [the author’s parents] 
around to some of the caves, one still had Indian artifacts inside 
[again, he is talking about occupied shelters along the river or in 
the canyon].
Cemetery in Langtry: Ike Babb 1856-1934 (probably Will and Walter’s 
father); William Lewis Babb 1876-1913 (killed in Langtry); other 
family members buried here born 1836, 1849.


[my irrelevant comment] Walter was presumably Boye Babb’s father. Boye 
lived just west of Langtry, just above Langtry Creek. We dug the 
Langtry Creek Burial Cave just below his house in 1963 or so, at the 
_same_ time that he got into a gun fight at his house and was killed, 
just after he gave us permission to go on in. [This has nothing to do 
with the cave up off of Pandale Road, just my reminiscence.]
