Our time in Kentucky was coming to an end and Jim still had lots for us to see. So we planned a two day adventure starting with the Mammouth Caves about an hour and a half south of Louisville. These caves are the longest cave system known in the world with more than 400 miles of charted passageways. They were discovered in the late 1790’s. As far as caves go, which we have toured many, it wasn’t the most impressive we’ve seen other than the size. But due to Covid there was limited access so maybe we’d have felt differently during normal times.

One interesting tidbit about the cave, it the early 1800’s a doctor that had tuberculosis thought the air and environment of the cave could help those with tuberculosis. So he purchased the cave for $10,000 and brought 16 others with the plague along with himself to live in there in hopes of a cure. The experiment failed.

From there we headed to the National Corvette museum. I have alot of pictures from there so rather than combine them with the cave pictures I’m making a separate post for these today’s adventure.
