June 24th we headed out in our new 2006 Mazda MPV for Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. We were so blessed to find a good vehicle. We made several tourist stops while in Ky and I'll share them with you a little at a time.
Here is a link to Mammoth Cave Park http://www.nps.gov/maca/ It was such an awesome adventure. Mom and Dad took a tour that had less walking and fewer stairs. Stacy and I took the historic tour and visited the salt petre mines, and learned history of the caves. 
This was Fat Man's Misery followed by Tall Man's torture. In some places it was only 18 inches wide. another cool fact was that the CCC helped to pave the paths in the cave in the 1930's when it was turned into a National Park.
I thought these candle smoke writings from the 1800's were neat. The cave consists of over 300 miles of caverns. This one reads Landram's Sakhorn Band 1855.
For Stacy's 20th Birthday, we took a horseback ride on trails in Mammoth Cave park. Dad rode Duke and I rode Navajo. It was an experience I felt several days after. 
I enjoyed all the pictures that you posted! I've been on that historic tour at Mammoth Cave and it was fascinating. I enjoy Fat man's misery as well.
