Big Cave, actually Mammoth Cave

Yesterday about 10:30 we exited the gated parking lot of Inverter Services and headed out. All was well with the Oliver. At least it appears that way. We successfully camped with no hookups and the battery provided power to the microwave, coffee pot and lights as well as running the furnace all night - it was 31 degrees last night.

We stopped at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. Nice displays placed in creative settings. They had representations of all generations from 1953 to the current mid-engine version. There were also a nice selection of race cars and automobiles that used Chevy power.

Then on to the Mammoth Cave National Park. This is the largest cave system in the world. We have a tour scheduled for Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. There are a lot of choices. After we set up camp we did a 2.5 mile hike to the Green River and along the Historic Trail. Along the ay we passed the Historic Entrance and a neat place where the River Styx flows out of the cave system and into the Green River. We enjoyed the rest of our take out dinner from the Chef Market.
