Midwest Road Trip
(Day One: Friday, May 23 - Page 01)

Mammoth Cave National Park, KY:
Welcome to another virtual web tour. This tour will take us through parts of the states of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky. Also during this tour, a brief stop will be made at the Indianapolis 500, along with the tour of the Budweiser Brewery, the Saint Louis Arch, and the Rock and Roll hall of fame in Cleveland. During this tour I will make it to Lake Erie, so now I can say I have been Coast to Coast and Lakes to Gulf… Enjoy the Tour…

While officially the trip was set to begin on Friday, May 23, we decided to scout out a little early to get ahead of the holiday traffic, so we left Thursday Night and drove the two hours North on I-75 and Northwest on I-24 to Chattanooga and stayed in a Days in just West of Downtown Chattanooga. After waking up and a quick breakfast at a Waffle House, we continued to Nashville along I-24 where we continued north along I-65 into Kentucky. North of Bowling Green is a town called Cave City near where the main entrance to the cave system is. Many explorers have toured this cave system which is the worlds largest known cave system with more than 300 miles explored and are unaware just how far the cave goes. One explore theorized that it may go as far as into the Flint River and into Florida, who knows… To tour that far would be virtually impossible because of the distances. While here we took a 2-3 hour cave tour and here are the better pictures which came out of this dark environment. Enjoy!
