Cloudlands Tour, Day 1

Winter is almost over in Chicago. Somewhere south Spring has arrived. Road trip!

First stop, Mammoth Cave National Park.

Green River ferry 

Ferry lean



Mammoth Cave NP has some nice single track





But the concrete picnic tables are the worst

When I camped here with Mona and the kids many years ago, we found strange albino grasshopper. It wasn't until years later that I realized the albino grasshopper had wandered out of the cave system. Apparently, many cave creatures are albinos because color is useless in a cave. 


O'Hara's Nitro Stout paired with homemade spaghetti

Next stop, Prentice Cooper State Forest.
