In late April, 2001, Betsy and I spent the day at Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky. I had been there many years before, but it was a special treat to go back with My Beautiful-Bride-To-Be.
We took the Historical Tour of the cave, and later walked through some of the woodland in the park. We took a cruise on the Green River later in the day.
In the collage above, my Beautiful Betsy is on the upper left, and the Grand Avenue in Mammoth Cave is on the right. At the bottom, from left to right, is the site of saltpeter mining in the cave, the stairway in Mammoth Dome, and a cable ferry across the Green River.

We’ve visited Mammoth Cave, but I’m not sure we saw the things you’ve shown here. We might have taken a different tour. Anyway, it was fun to see it as you saw it. And Betsy IS beautiful! 🙂

Patti and I have always like to go there. We don’t normally go in the cave….we just like the area.
