We went to the Lost River Cave and took a boat tour on an underground river. The river runs into this cave. A view out of the cave mouth from the boat.
A zip liner at Lost River Cave park, The Blue Hole. It is usually blue, but the rain has stirred up the bottom and made it muddy. Tipping your guide is ok, tipping the boat is not. At the mouth we had to duck down, the cave ceiling was only about 1.5 feet above the boat. Some flow stone. A view of the underground river. The boat ride was much shorter than we envisioned, but was unique.
In the 1930's there was a bar in the cave. Before that there had been a series of mills using a water wheel to power their plants. John and I dancing in the underground bar.
Our next stop was the National Corvette museum. There is an assembly plant in Bowling Green that usually does tours but it is closed till 2019 while they retool the line. The yellow structure is the Sky Dome exhibit area. John parked in the corvette only parking. The mens and womens bathrooms in the museum.
They had cars from every year they were built. Crash test dummies, Living the dream and a corvette hauling a wheelbarrow. John and I racing corvettes.
In 2014 a sinkhole under the skydome opened up and 5 corvettes fell in. They fixed it but you can look down this manhole cover and see the cave below. The yellow line is the edge of the cave below and the red line is where the sink hole was. John is standing over both. The wrecked cars are behind him.
After this grueling day we went to the White Squirrel brewery. It is named after the backup mascot of the Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. The first mascot is a red blob. Kind of a lazy day today. I read my book and worked on my basket.
Sunset tonight. We boated the Green River in Mammoth National park today. John on the river.
John coming out of a small cave beside the river. Looking Out of the cave to the river.
Green River in Mammoth National Park. Ferns, box turtle and some people cruising by us with their dog in front.
John in front of limestone bluffs, cool tree trunks and turtles on logs.
Two more trees and the Green River. We paddled between the red dots.
