Day 17,18; Sat./Sun. 7/12,13 My Old Kentucky Home & Mammoth Caves

Post date: Jul 14, 2014 12:28:33 AM

It was nice to again have a planned non-riding today, the 13th. Deb will fly back to Portland tomorrow so we loaded up the Escort and drove 45 minutes south to Mammoth Caves National Park. Our park ranger, Chris, gave a great tour entitled Domes & Drips which showed off various geological features. Both entertaining and informative. Yesterday Doug & I pedaled our 60 miles through rolling hills, a nice change after much steeper climbs & drops. We snorted to horse friends, ambled amongst tobacco, soy beans and corn fields and admired the beautiful countryside of Kentucky. Along the way we saw Lincoln's family homestead, more his parents' home than his. It's been great to have Debbie share this experience.
