Cave City, KY

---

Our second ever visit to Mammouth Cave National Park was with Bill and Loretta. We chose a different tour, Domes and Dripstone, which descended 26 stories below the surface! Lots of stairs and narrow passageways. A large group of ladies, dressed like Mennonites, provided beautiful vocal singing music in the cave as we walked. The next day we visited the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. Mike’s favorite was a 1970’s Donnybrooke green corvette. Our hosts at Singing Hills RV Park invited us to their small country church which we enjoyed on Sunday.

Domes & Dripstones Tour
We were in a group of 100 for the tour. Ranger Jamie was great and kept us all together.

Descent into the cave
We descended the equivalent of 26 stories in the cave. A few of the children were scared at first. Fortunately, we all made it out.

Formations
Some of the rocks in the caves did not seem very stable.

Dripstone
Some beautiful flow stone throughout the cave.

Beautiful flow stone. It was in this area that the group in our tour sang. The acoustics were beautiful!

Stalactites
Water and minerals dripping and accumulating over so many years. So many beautiful formations throughout the cave.

Some of these formations are called drapery and bacon.

Sinkhole
2009 Corvette. This was the 1.5 millionth Corvette.

Sinkhole
1/12/2014 a sinkhole swallowed 8 Corvettes at the museum. It was 20' deep and 30' to 40' wide. This car is on display to show the damage done to the cars.

Gorgeous
My favorite Corvette.

Sinkhole
A shaft was left so museum guests can see the depth of the sinkhole.
