Day Two: June 10, 2010

We traveled from Hoover, Alabama, to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky.  The trip started off really rough.  The roads around Birmingham were horrible.  Traffic was too.  Our trailer was bouncing all over the road.  I even told Ray we could turn around if he would like.

We started out at 8:45 a.m.  We crossed into Tennessee at 11:37 a.m. and Kentucky at 3:01 p.m.  We arrived at 4 p.m.

We were camping at the campground there at Mammoth Cave.  The good news was that they had moved us to a larger pull through spot (I booked before we got the trailer and even though it was supposed to fit us it would have been tight.)  The bad news was no power.  Normally that wouldn't be a problem but Kentucky is still hot and humid and I about died that first night.  I didn't sleep under the covers and wore just my under clothings.

In the evening fireflies came out and Sheila and Timmy loved chasing them down.  Before dark we went for a walk over to the visit center and got information on the tours for the next day.  We then went for a walk around the campground and a deer walked right by our campsite.

We also started having problems with our fridge (or what we thought was the fridge.)
