Mammoth Cave National Park - Kentucky
It seems this will be the year that I will stay within US borders and visit some of our National Parks. This weekend I began by visiting Mammoth Cave National Park just a couple of hours down the road. Two things I learned after scouring through the photos this evening: it is impossible to take a good photograph inside a cave; second thing–who the hell wants to look at photos taken inside a cave (at least the awful ones I took). Still, I will post one and hope that my future trips–all outside, thankfully–will produce much better results. Up next is a short weekend trip to Yosemite Valley at the end of this month and then up to the Badlands in South Dakota in late May. I will finish up in late July/early August with a two day trip through Death Valley National Park then on an 8 day hike along the John Muir trail. If time permits and lottery luck is on our side, we may head back to Yosemite Valley for the Half Dome hike….where my fear of heights will be tested.
That leaves me with September through December without any plans…..maybe there will be some international adventure after all.
