Mammoth Cave Day 2

The tour of the cave today was awesome. So much better than yesterday in my humble opinion. It is called the Historical Tour. It lasted over 2 hours  and we covered about two miles underground. If you have never been to Mammoth Cave be sure and take this tour. The one yesterday called Frozen Niagara was ok but did not measure up the Historical Tour. Since the cave is over 400 miles long you can tell that we only touched a very small portion. I tried to take some pictures but because you can not use a flash the quality is not very good. Have to hold very still so they are a bit blurry.

Mammoth Cave Ride

We are making one last ride before school starts. We decided to ride to one of the seven natural wonders of the world, Mammoth Cave National Park in central Kentucky. It is only a two hour ride from our home in Indiana. We rode the back roads of Kentucky and even crossed the Green River on a ferry. When we arrived at the visitor center we could not find a place to park, it was so crowded. So we double parked the bike and went inside where we signed up for a tour later that day and one for tomorrow then left for our motel. Here are some pictures from today.
