Walt and Robert at the "historic entrance" of Mammoth Cave
We drove the 62 miles it took to get here. Joy and Walt arrived about 2 PM. It was good to see them and they seemed to have weathered well their three days of driving from Connecticut. It is always good to see them and catch up on their lives. They are great travel companions because they stay loose and seem content to "go with the flow."
After visiting a bit we went to Mammoth Cave National park and picked up information about tours. We then took a walk, about a mile, down to the Green River and back. En route we paused at the "historic entrance" of Mammoth Cave. Walt and Robert walked down to the gate at the entrance of the actual cave. The day was hot, but near the cave entrance it was really cool. Joy and I with bad knees and bad hip, respectively opted to look from above. It's neat to see all the dripping ferns and mosses, so different from Colorado!
We returned to the cabin and campground about 5. Joy and Walt came over to the RV about 5:30 and we enjoyed a glass of wine. I fixed dinner of lambchops which I had bought at Costco before we left and had kept in the freezer all this time. At our Michigan rendezvous with Joy and Walt I had served similar lamb chops and they had been quite a success. It seemed celebratory to have them here, too. We sat around and chatted until about 8 PM when they returned to their cabin.
During supper Carrie Rose called. She's received a top honor award and was checking to see when we were coming and to deliver the news. She had e-mailed us, but we've not had much luck getting e-mail this trip. Fewer libraries than in Lousiana and the battery on our laptop is dead which makes using WiFi difficult. I said I'd call her when we got back to Boulder and
had made some plans for the next trip. We'll be leaving for Walla Walla shortly after we get home. We leave on the 16th of May, and don't plan to get home from this trip until May 12th.
