Mammoth Cave is an amazing sight to see. We started with a 2 hour/2 mile hike through cracks, ginormouse rooms 1/2 acre big, up 300 stairs, through tunnels and down steep hills, all in the dark, not total darkness, but dark.
The next tour we did had tighter spaces but only 1 mile long, still 2 hours. This is where we saw the stalagmites and stalagdites (sp?). The stairway in was another 300 or so, but down and about a foot wide. Jr Ranger Colbie walked the whole thing all by herself. The cool part is it is a nice 54*. Ahhhh
Too dark but this is Colbie squeezing through "Fat Man's Misery"
The natural and original entrance into the cave
It sells itself as a truely awesome cave system. It needs a little updating with some of those relief dollars and has Kentuckys finest running it. Haha just kidding, not really. There are so many amazing sights and stories associated with it, they could do a lot more. Enough said, it was still an unbelieveable sight. The campground was nice with everything we needed, although we missed our little crick. Cave City on the other hand had nothing to offer and more of Kentuckys finest so we left a night early to cut our drive time down for Friday. We are staying in Chattanooga, TN so we can get Mimi even earlier in Atlanta tomorrow.
