Today my brother and dad and I spent the day at Mammoth Cave, which I learned is 365 miles so far (they are still discovering more of it), making it the largest cave in the world. If you have never been, I HIGHLY recommended checking it out sometime in your life. It was definetly worth the 8 hours of driving time for me. We took a short hike by ourselves in the woods, then we took 2 tours, the Frozen Niagra and Guided Discovery. I am really glad we did both, because the Frozen Niagra had a caverin full of floating rocks and was possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, but Guided Discovery showed some of the Cave's history and what made it famous. Some of the stories were really cool, like how they made tulip tree pipes to sift the caves soul and drain out the nitrates for PN3- aka crystals required for gun powder. The cave was used for all kinds of purposes until the govt. took it over, including sermons, formal parties and a tuberculosis hospital.

I better go to bed. Tomorrow lookes like this...

I lead a glamorous life ^_-
