First on my agenda for today was to take the cave tour at Historic Diamond Caverns. It was beautiful. Unbelievable cave formations. 350 steps!

Next I toured Mammoth Cave. As the name implies, it was huge! About 2 miles of walking and another 450 steps!

Then I drove to Horse Cave, Kentucky to visit Hidden
River Cave. At Hidden River Cave I was able to try something new;
rappelling. I rappelled down about 70
feet to the mouth of the cave beginning on the same platform as the zipline. A
new activity! Awesome!
The American Cave Museum is here with exhibits on the underground and natural history of the area. Exhibits on bats, blind fish and other cave animals; prehistoric and modern cave explorers; saltpeter mining; groundwater science and cave geology; and more.

At the present, they have only one zipline, but are
planning to have more; some inside the cave!
Clayton and crew guided me through
both activities then I had a nice, informative cave tour.

Needless to say, I was exhausted after all of these activities.
I drove to Louisville, KY to spend the night.
