Things I need to do – #2 – Visit the Mammoth Caves
The second in a series - describing places I need to visit, things I need to see, or tasks I need to do before I die. Or at least before I have children.
In Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky, lies the "the most elongated cave system known in the world." (Wikipedia) With 367 miles of known cave passageway, it is continually being expanded with further discovery.
To further quote the Wikipedia entry:
"The National Park Service offers several cave tours to visitors. Many of the most famous features of the cave, such as Grand Avenue, Frozen Niagara, and Fat Man's Misery, can be seen on lighted tours ranging from one to six hours in length. Two tours, lit only by visitor-carried paraffin lamps, are popular alternatives to the electric-lit routes. Several "wild" tours venture away from the developed parts of the cave into muddy crawls and dusty tunnels."
