It's 8 am...we've been in the van for the last 5 hours... |
...but we feel energized after a nutritious breakfast at Jerry's!! |
Campus Ministry was kind enough to let us use their Suburban for this trip. (Luckily, we had no trouble locating the back wheel.) |
Entrance to Sand Cave, where famed caver Floyd Collins met his end. |
Of course it's a giant papier-mache mosasaur. What were you expecting? |
"How far underground are we now?" At this point, about 200 feet. |
Canyon-type passage along Boone Avenue. |
None the worse for spending about 5 hours underground in Mammoth Cave. |
Overview of the Sinkhole Plain from the top of the Chester Escarpment, immediately south of Mammoth Cave National Park. |
Yes, we really ate lunch at the Porky Pig Diner in Pig, Kentucky. |
Scenic overlook at Turnhole Spring. |
