Nolin River Lake and Lost River Cave

Thursday we left our quiet site at the COE park and drove about an hour around Mammoth Cave National Park. We couldn't take the motorhome on the ferry so we had to drive around, but in the end right now we are only about 7 miles from where we were the other day. Here are a few pictures from the park, for a couple of days we were the only people in our section!

This was a very nice park and if you had a boat its really ideal. Many of those coming in when we left, had there boats anchored right by their site!!

Today we took a ride into Bowling Green to visit the Lost River Cave. This is a boat ride through a cave. The cave entrance was once a night club in the 1930's.

Can you imagine trying to climb down these stairs in high heel shoes and evening gowns??
There is another entrance now but in the 1930's that was the way down. The wooden steps are gone now but these metal ones remain. They do have weddings and high school proms here today. The tour was not the best we ever been on. Not too many pictures. The biggest claim to fame they have is that Jesse James evidently hid out here at one time.

We did start to walk down a nature trail and this butterfly landed on Ed. There were a lot of butterflies around. Not as much walking as we did at Mammoth Cave but it was a good workout!!
