Mammoth Cave National Park

So after we left Nashville we drove until for a while and slept in a rest area over night. Pretty uncomfortable, but tolerable really. In the morning we got up and went to Cave City where we found a the Cream and Sugar Cafe and had omelets. The place was great. There were a bunch of old guys sitting around shooting the breeze and it was clear that they were probably there most every morning for coffee and toast, and the service was perfect. Friendly and quality. I was really glad that we found it.

After breakfast we headed out to the cave.

We checked out the Mammoth Cave National Park Visitor Center while we waited for our tour to begin and got a bit about the geology of the area and then we took the historic tour of the cave. The historic tour went through the original entrance to the cave and through the old salt peter mines that were used to win the war of 1812. It was a dry part of the cave so there weren't any spectacular formations to speak of like stalactites or cave bacon but it was a really cool tour none the less.

Digital cameras and caves... 

So after that we decided we'd spend the night in Cave City and go to a go-kart/horse riding/zip line place the next day so we got a room, had dinner and then Jasper pretty much stayed in the pool until it closed. I'm wondering if he's going to develop gills any time soon.
