- Painted_Caves abstract "Painted Caves, a cave with a spring in Val Verde County, Texas, 20 kilometers southeast of Comstock, Texas. Painted Caves, was a camp site along the San Antonio-El Paso Road on Painted Cave Spring Creek, known now as California Creek. It was located 2.54 miles northwards from the First Crossing of Devils River and 15.73 miles from California Spring. The Painted Caves just beyond the First Crossing of Devils River, were described by Robert Eccleston, in his diary, of his journey over the San Antonio-El Paso Road with some of the emmigrants to California, traveling with the military expedition that pioneered the route in 1849:"Wednesday, July 11. ... After passing through a rocky country for about 3 miles, we came to water in a bed of rock. ... We here visited some caves in the rocks of considerable extent, in which were found Indian drawings, &c., such as buffaloes, men. They were colored."These paintings were made by a people called the West Texas Cave Dwellers, that lived in West Texas for over 1000 years before the Lipan Apache arrived in the area. Thirty years later Burr G. Duval described the site in his "Journal of a Prospecting Trip to West Texas in 1879": Friday, Jan. 9. Pulled out of Devils River, 7 a.m. doubled teams up the hill. Moved only about 8 miles and camped near a water hole on the headwaters of Painted Cave Spring Creek. Painted Cave, two miles out of Devils River, is a noted camp and cave grotto, rather, which was formerly embellished with numerous Indian picture writings, no longer to be seen, but in their place appear the mysterious characters, "S. T. 1860", "X Plantation Bitters", "Tutt's Pills", "Sozodont," etc. showing that the Star of Empire still takes its way westward and that the peripatetic advertising agent is still aboard on "Devils River." Painted Caves is now under Lake Amistad.".
