My husband and I decided to go to in Kentucky to explore in there and will visit their “Mammoth Cave” and did you know that cave is world's longest known cave? In fact, it is so long that if the second and third longest caves in the world were joined together and the Mammoth Cave would still be the planet's longest cave and have nearly 100 miles left over! Mammoth Cave National Park preserves the cave system and a part of the Green River valley and hilly country of south central Kentucky. This is the world's longest cave system, with more than 365 miles explored. Early guide Stephen Bishop called the cave a "grand, gloomy and peculiar place," but its vast chambers and complex labyrinths have earned its name: Mammoth. Furthermore, my husband and I did stay in Jellystone Campground for 1 night which we did rent one of their good cabins. We suppose to stay in Mammoth cave hotel but since my husband and I wanted to be adventurous we did stay in the cabin and on that night time we had a bonfire.
In the morning we woke up about 8am since our tour in Mammoth cave will be start at 10am. We woke up early, because we do not want to be late or missed our tour but when we arrived in the visitor area and while waiting our tour, only to find out we were early, because of the daylight time savings and therefore we waited for about 1 hour in there. I was wearing my thick jacket that time as it was windy, cold and raining too. In about 10 o’clock we started standing outside to wait our ranger and everything is ready we hopped in the bus going to the entrance of Mammoth cave and we rode in about 5-10 mins. I was excited that time of our tour. In that tour we are almost 30 or perhaps 30 something. My husband brought his little flashlight and when started I was amazed since it was very big cave and we did walked about almost 4 hrs. inside the cave and can you imagine that is pretty long time to walked inside in there. We did stop in about 12 noon to eat our lunch as they have also a little canteen, it has some tables and there are some sits too. My husband and I did order lunch box which contains apple, chips, cookie and sandwich etc and we ordered also vegetables. We had fun walking in the cave, there are some stairs that you need to strive to walk, because it was somewhat steep and if you have week knees or legs, high blood pressure, low blood circulation, heart problems or other diseases which will be the hindrance of walking, you cannot do it, because walking in about 4 hrs. is not easy. When the time we almost done or nearby the end of the cave, we saw alot of wondrous rocks formations which you can see the pictures below. We had really great time walking inside the cave and that was the best exercise (lol). When the tour was end we waited our bus to pick us up to give us a ride going back to visitor center and it was raining snow that time and that was weird even it was already 2nd week of April and it happens like that rarely in Kentucky. Our tour guide that time was good.
