A cave tour with the only source of light being our gas lantern’s flame. It was our 3rd tour of the day but it was the most unique. We entered the cave at dusk with about 10 lanterns. So we experienced the cave just like they did a hundred years ago by candlelight! Then the …

Mammoth Cave NP – River Styx Tour & Historic Tour (Extended)
A lot of the River Styx Tour follows the more popular Historic Tour route but it is a very different tour. I liked it much better than the Historic Tour. You get to go to the deepest part of Mammoth Cave (down to the River Styx and Echo Lake). The River Styx tour also was …

Great Onyx Lantern Tour @ Mammoth Cave NP
We started our tours at Mammoth Cave NP with the Great Onyx Lantern Tour. This cave system is not part of Mammoth Cave system but is part of the national park. After a short (and pretty wild) bus ride we were assigned lanterns and entered the cave. It was a nice mix of cave geology …

6 Tours In Mammoth Cave National Park
I’d been to Mammoth Cave National Park before. Like many places I’ve been previously I didn’t ‘finish it’. It is the completionist in me! So I planned multiple days with 6 tours and 12 miles of underground hiking. After 16 hours of underground tours, I’m marking this National Park done. CHECK!
NASCAR Cup Race – Nashville Superspeedway
It had been over 10 years since we’d been to a NASCAR Cup race. Now that NashVegas has a Cup Race at Nashville Superspeedway it made sense to Get ‘Er Done! It was hot! It was also fun as crap! Few things are as entertaining as a NASCAR opening ceremony and the first few laps …

Disney’s Epcot
We’d not been to DisneyWorld’s Epcot in a long time. I found myself saying “I ain’t ever done this before” a lot. Several new rides and a bunch of things that I’d simply never seen/done before. Some of it was because it was new/different. Some were because we weren’t chasing kids around. Epcot as an …
Silver Springs State Park
We visited Emmaline in Orlando and headed to Florida’s first tourist attraction, Silver Springs State Park. It is home to the largest artesian spring in the northern hemisphere (Mammoth Springs) and some of the clearest blue water you’ll see anywhere. We kayaked first and then took a glass-bottom boat tour. On the glass bottom boat …
Touring Bike Build For Bikepacking
The bike is built and the shakedown rides are completed (3 of them). I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I modified Emily’s old ’90s model Specialized Hard Rock mountain bike. It should be a fine starter bike for me to do a few overnight trips. This will help me see if doing …
Back To My Hometown (Springfield, TN) Hunting The Bell Witch
Somehow my travels led me back to my hometown, Springfield TN, for a long weekend. I decided while I was there I’d do a little Bell Witch hunting. I’d watch movies and read books to learn about her evil ways. Then I’d go to Adams, TN to visit some sites. I was going to find …

Our Last TN State Park (Big Ridge SP) AND Max’s Graduation
Lots of stuff wrapped up on this weekend of RV’ing! We visited our last Tennessee State Park (Big Ridge State Park). With this last one we’ve visited all 58 Tennessee State Parks. We started RV’ing several years ago. It has been a lot of fun! This marks a BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious, Goal) off my …
