  • This was one of the most interesting underwater places I think I have had the opportunity to explore here in Texas. This is the headwaters of the Frio River and to it's namesake it was absolutely freezing! My dive computer read 57F on the surface : /

    The Frio river starts further upstream from concan near the town of Leakey, named for John Leakey who first claimed a deed at the springs that combine with rain runoff. Leakey springs are on private property and some of the land was at one time owned by Frank Sharp, founder of Sharpstown in sw Houston and principal player in the Sharpstown bank scandal. Interesting video and intriguing cinematography thank you fir sharing

    For those wondering, This is Blue Hole at HEB Foundation Camp on Hwy 83 North of Leakey. (Yes, the grocery store HEB)
    I was privileged to attend this camp as a volunteer for almost 15 years and it is an amazing place.
    Great memories snorkeling and free diving there getting kids dropped sunglasses off of the bottom.

      The amount of changes at this place in just the last 10 years has been insane, much less 50!
      The huge family camp below Echo Bluff was a bunch of tin roof cabins known as “Commanche Outpost” back in your day. They were just feet from Blue Hole.
      “Linnett’s Wings” is the next set of cabins downriver from there.
      You should stop by if you are ever in the area, this place is still as special as ever.
      Be well
