We left the KOA at Natural Bridge and after trying to find propane for what seemed like an hour, we were off through Virginia, into Tennessee and then to Kentucky. The highlight of this day was we stopped in London, Kentucky and chicken. No wait, let me say it correctly. We stopped in Kentucky and had Kentucky Fried Chicken! We had to. That night we stayed at another really nice KOA in Russell Springs. At a nearby campfire there were men singing and playing Bluegrass music on guitars and banjos. It was very cool.
When we woke up we made our way to Mammoth Caves National Park. This is the part where i would like to talk about the National Parks pass we bought in Devils Tower, Wyoming. Thinking we were going to go to a whole bunch of National Parks etc, we would definitely make our $80.00 back quickly. NOT! Either parks are free, or the charge you for something that the pass doesn't cover like tours or parking. We have only used it twice including the time we bought it. Of all the things to get ripped off on, this one was worth it. National Parks are awesome. Besides Abbey has probably gotten a couple bucks out of them with the junior ranger badges.
So the tour of the Mammoth was not free (cheap though). Mammoth caves are the largest caves in the world. In fact, if you took the 2nd and 3rd longest caves in the world and put them together, Mammoth is still bigger. I liked this cave much more because of this roominess and the 55 degrees wasn't too bad either.
