Day 6 - Continued - Mammoth Cave, KY
A sight seeing craft had to yield as we cross
the river on our return trip to the campsite.
We attended the ranger led campfire program
at the park in the evening. The show's theme
was all about Mammoth Cave Adventures. A
historical look at the cave system, how it
came to be, its living creatures, how it
developed over time, how humans
used/exploited the cave through history and
how the cave will be preserved as a National
Park. Great old photos and stories. Restored
train used to bring tourists to the cave.
Day 6 - Continued - Mammoth Cave, KY
After the tour, we were off exploring on our
own. A local state park awaited us after the  
"free" ferry ride across the river. We had the
whole beach to ourselves and one other
small group from Belgium. Boy would that
park get used in NY and look great. Water
was very warm but still refreshing. The boys
played ultimate in the water as well as
practiced their snorkeling.
