Sept 17- Mammoth Cave

This was a cool day. We found a great campground, complete with a golf course! Kentucky has the mose amazing State Parks--more like resorts than our parks. We snuck on the course early and rode our bikes all around the course. Didn't get caught until the very end. We drove down to Mammoth Cave and took the "lantern tour". It lasts 3 1/2 hours underground without electric lights or flashlights. Its supposed to make it seem more like it would have been for the original cavers. Cold, dark, spooky, REALLY fun. We scrambled up and down for about 3 miles...down to about 300 feet below the surface. Caroline and Laura, you would have hated it! No cameras allowed, so you'll just have to believe us! On the way back to the rig we stopped in for a quick look at the George Patton museum at Fort Knox. We are really jumping around on this history tour! No time to see tons of gold-oh, well.
