Save Our Springs Goes Multimedia

sos_bartonsprings_tour.jpg

Trying out a different approach in their efforts to preserve the Edwards Aquifer from urban development, Save Our Springs Alliance today launched a new audio-based walking tour of Barton Springs. The self-guided tour covers thirteen stations of note, including Philosopher's Rock Statue, Old Mill Springs, Eliza Spring, and the Monument on Big Hill. What's more, they're making these available as free mp3 downloads so you can load 'em onto your iPod before you head out to Zilker Park:

Wow, what's next? Commerative salamander dog-tags? Maybe they'll let you press your penny into an etching of Bill Bunch's face for a quarter! I'll stick with the cotton candy, thanks.
