Do you enjoy exploring caves?
After almost 2 1/2 weeks in Missouri, we headed east to Kentucky. Since our travel has been limited to
"local" destinations for the last year, we set a goal of exploring as many (new to us) national parks as
possible. Mammoth Cave was one that neither of us had visited.
The only way to go inside the cave is on a tour ... and due to current circumstances, the only tour
available was the self-guided Extended Historic Tour. We lucked out as Ranger Jerry was stationed inside
and he shared so much history from the generations of his family who worked as tour guides.
Fun fact: Over 400 miles of the Mammoth Cave have been explored to date and it is still unknown how
many miles are left unexplored!
Of the caves that you have explored, which was most memorable?
