Mammoth Cave Nat'l Pk, Cave City, KY

As mentioned in my previous post we are following our friends, Rob and Jane, up to Kentucky to their ultimate destination of Campbellsville. As you can see from the picture below fall is definitely here!









After spending a few days in Campbellsville we take Rob and Jane's two kids, Robbie and Jordyn, on a trip with us to Singing Hills Campground in Cave City, Kentucky.



Below Jordyn is helping Jeff with the set up of our camper for our three night stay.






The next day we head over to Mammoth Cave National Park which is about 3 miles away.



The kids want to do the Junior Ranger program so they are busy in the picture below filling out their books so they can get their badges. Jeff is supervising of course !





We took the Frozen Niagara Tour and as you can see there were a few stairs to climb to see the formations.





Below are a few pictures of some of the formation we saw at this part of the tour.






This particular cave system is, so far, the longest in the world. So far they have surveyed over 397 miles in the cave. Geologists believe there may be over 600 miles more to explore !






There are over 130 different lifeforms that live in these caves.







See ya down the road !
