day 38

8 July 2008



We did a short ride today of 45 miles to Sonora, KY, then met up with the family and drove down to Mammoth Cave National Park. I had no idea how big the cave is. There are over 360 miles of cave that they know about. We went on the New Entrance Tour. Mammoth cave is mostly undecorated (no formations like stalactites, etc.), because it's under a layer of sandstone, which prevents water from seeping into the cave. The New Entrance Tour goes past some of the decorated sections of the cave. The whole thing is fascinating, and the kids loved it, of course.
