CAVE CITY, KY

after leaving the fort smith area after all the storms had gone away we left town ourselves...heading east..we saw lots of flooding along streams-rivers-fields the results of the day before storm...not many trees nor damage which w as good..


we ended up staying at a sam's club in Jackson, tn..for the most part it was quiet after 8pm and the traffic slowed down..by the time we got up in the morning there were 5 other rv's in the parking lot...


we even went inside to of course ask permission if we could stay the night in the parking lot yes was the  answer as long we were  sam's club members which we are..then we bought dinner..a chicken easy and not difficult to prepare cause it was already cooked and ready to serve..still have left overs..


the next day we ended up in cave city, ky and the  plan was to go to mammoth caves and yep a national park..we have been here before but we didn't  work on badges then so we thought why not it is just 5 miles away...so off we went to the park..it sure  looked different than when we had been here before so we asked a ranger..oh he said the visitors center is only 2 yrs  old...no wonder we didn't remember it the way it is today...glad because we thought  oh my why don't we remember...


so we worked on the badge and received..


lar had noticed that when coming in there was a sign  green river ferry so we took a ride to see what it was all about..it is a free ferry that goes across the green river and only holds maybe 3 vechiles...so off we went to ride the ferry..got off  took a short ride in the country turned around and went back to the ferry and took it back across...exciting and free..the river is very brown and fast flowing and we figure due to all th rain they have received over the last few days...campground owner told us they had gotten over 8 inches in 2 days..and is thankful we are on a hill cause the water just runs down hill jut like home...


tomorrow on to the Louisville area to visit with lar's brother doug and sister in law iris...


life is still good
