Mammoth Cave
April 19, 2009
I went on the Wild Caves Tour, which is a 6 1/2 hour expedition through caves which
are still in their natural state. We climbed through mud and water, while squeezing
ourselves through very narrow passageways. At one point we all turned off our lights
and went silent: all you could hear was dripping water and you could see nothing.
I closed my eyes, opened them and could tell no difference.
The tour was fun and an adventure, however the visual highlights were that of Frozen
Niagara, which is easily accessible for the other tour groups. The day was exciting,
but caves are simply hallow passageways in the earth and there's little to see
or do other than to keep moving until you reach wonders like Cathedral Tower or
Frozen Niagara.
