Spelunking!

We recently expanded upon our Kentucky adventures by visiting Mammoth Cave National Park - the longest cave system in the world! Yep, it's in Kentucky. We went on the "New Entrance" tour - we highly recommend. I (Lianne) found the first few minutes of the cave exploration a bit too exciting ... we were squeezing through tights spaces when I heard the people in front of us start squealing and screaming about spiders. I almost didn't make it, but then we discovered that the "spiders" were actually these mutant cave crickets (which were not a whole lot better, but I'll take it). But thankfully, there were no more creepy crawlies after that first little bit. We got to climb lots of stairs and see lots of limestone and even some cool stalagmites and stalactites. We especially enjoyed the "Frozen Niagra" formation - very beautiful! This is just one of the many wonders you will be treated to when you come visit us in the state of Unbridled Spirit (that's Kentucky's state motto).
