Day 2 Texas trip

Feb 26
Rain started as we hit the road.  We stopped in Kentucky to tour Mammoth Cave.  It is mammoth because of its length... one of the longest caves with over 400 miles explored... all in an area only about 7 miles across.  We went on the "new entrance" tour which was great.   It was a very steep stairway down very narrow passages until we reached the larger caverns below.   The exit out a revolving door was an effort to not introduce bats to this end of the cave.  The National park above ground was beautiful with an extensive trail system.  There were Daffodils in bloom! and the Wild Turkeys were surprisingly unwary.




There is a ferry that operates within the park to let you cross the Green River.
