WOW... We were 310 feet below the surface of the earth. What an experience....and NO BATS. We took a 2 hour ranger guided tour starting at the historical site opening. The system has 365 miles of surveyed passageways and they believe there may be as many as 600. We did over 250 stairs coming up out of the cave. We used our new National Parks Senior Pass and only paid half price. The cost of the pass ($10.00) was recouped the first time we used it.
Our campsite (Diamond Caverns Resort and Golf Course) was nice, but the people were exceptional. The host and hostess were wonderful. We went to our first "Pot Luck" campground dinner and met some nice people. It didn't take me long on the road to run into a fellow nurse. Kathy is an agency nurse in Trauma and Oncology. We also met another couple who have been full-timers (in their RV) for about 2 years. He is retired Army so they get to stay at army bases free of charge.
The campground is immediately adjacent to the federal park, so we did some hiking. Sydney and Holly found their own cave since they couldn't come on our tour.
We had rain every day but one. Only one of those days was a complete washout though. We had tornado warnings that day also... an interesting first for us. How do you prepare / survive a tornado in an RV?
